Last weekend I caught a springtime cold and went into Chicken soup mode.
I'm convinced this soup will cure most things that ail you. Here’s the recipe.

The magic starts with the Broth. Fill a pot ½ full of water, heat on high.
Take a rotisserie chicken, separate the meat (save for later), toss all the bones and skin in the pot. Add onion, garlic, carrots, celery, parsley (the bottom half of bunch with stems). Got more veggies in fridge like, peppers, mushrooms, leafy greens, toss them in too. Big chucks are preferred. Let it all boil for an hour, longer is better, then strain, and discard the solids (the good stuff is now in the liquid).

Cut fresh carrots, onions, and garlic while broth is cooking, add to strained broth and simmer. Add Better-than-Bullion paste (2 TBS), olive oil (1/2 cup), salt, and spices (fresh ground pepper, rosemary, thyme, oregano). When carrots soften add, sliced celery, chopped parsley, and egg noodles. When noodles soften add meat and turn off heat, stir, let rest, restir, and enjoy.

Used to watch my mom make this, I called it skeleton soup, it’s been my go-to for getting through nasty colds and hasn’t failed me yet.
