Chicken Corn Soup
Source of Recipe
Lynda McCormick
List of Ingredients
3 c water, *see Note
3 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 pounds chicken parts, or 1/2 whole chicken, cut into serving pieces (1 1/2 to 2) or use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, that I cook in chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground/cracked black pepper
2 cups short wide egg noodles, optional
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels, or white corn
1 large hard-boiled egg, chopped (I use 2-3 eggs)
1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Recipe
1. If using chicken parts or 1/2 a chicken: In a soup pot, bring to a boil the water, stock, chicken parts, salt and pepper. Skim the impurities from the surface. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is well cooked, about 45 minutes.
2. Remove chicken. When it is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, shred the meat and set aside. (At this point you can remove the surface fat with a ladle.)
3. Bring the stock to a boil and stir in the egg noodles (if using) and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender but firm. Stir in chopped or shredded chicken, egg and parsley. Ladle into warm bowls. Makes about 6 cups
NOTE:
Sometimes I'll omit the water & go with 6 CUPS (total) of broth
