Amish Chicken Soup, Re-post from Mary Ellis
Anyone else out there feeling under the weather? Well, the first bug of the season has hit my household, so I decided it was time to re-post this excellent article from Mary Ellis from last year. Enjoy!

A sure cure-all…chicken soup, Amish style!
I have just gotten over a very nasty case of the flu (which I was kind enough to pass along to my husband…) and I realized that half the people I know were either sick or just-on-the-mend. All this bad weather going around the country is not helping. I thought I’d pass along this wonderful recipe for Amish Chicken Soup that brings folks back to health in no time at all! Stay well, Amish readers.
Amish Chicken Soup
3lb. chicken
2 qt. water
2 tsp. salt, dash of pepper
1 1/2 cup chicken stock
2 cups celery, chopped
2 cups carrots, chopped
1 tart apple, chopped
1 c. onions, chopped
(opt. 2 pototoes, chopped)
4 cups egg noodles
Place chicken in kettle with 2 quarts water. Cover and cook until tender (about 2 1/2 hours). Remove chicken from kettle and strain broth. De-bone chicken and return to kettle with strained broth. Add stock, carrots, onions, celery, apple and pepper and cook until vegetables are tender. Add noodles and cook 10 minutes. Enjoy!

I don’t like dark meat. Wondering if I can use bone-in chicken breasts for the broth? I’ve been craving a GOOD Chicken Noodle Recipe but was too lazy to look and one comes out of the blue sky. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I bet that would work, Bonnie. You could always add in a couple cans of chicken or vegetable broth in case it doesn’t come out strong enough after boiling the chicken breasts. Sometimes if I am really sick or too tired to make chicken soup, I’ll just used canned broth and throw in cut up chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) and veggies. It’s not the same as the kind that simmers all day, but it will do in a pinch.

Just wanted to say I made this recipe this weekend while I was sick, and it really soothed my chest/coughs and comforted me overall. I boiled the chicken for a few hours and didn’t even need to add stock. It was delicious!
