Ingredients
  

  • 2 litres/8 cups cold water
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 skinless bone-in chicken thighs
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 4-5 whole peppercorns
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 onion
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 125g/4 oz egg noodles

Instructions
 

  • To the soup pot, add 2 chicken breast and 2 chicken thighs, 2 bay leaves, the peppercorns and a pinch of salt. Pour in cold water and set to boil over medium heat. Once it boils, lower the heat to simmer and cook for 30 minutes with a lid slightly ajar. Make sure to skim the foam off the top to keep the broth clear.
  • At the end of the cooking time, remove the chicken and set aside to cool. Shred with two forks into bite-sized pieces. Strain the broth through a sieve to remove the impurities, the bay leaves and the peppercorns. Set the clarified broth aside till needed.
  • In the same pot melt the butter and saute the onions, celery and carrots for 5 minutes over medium heat, then add 1 pressed garlic clove and cook briefly for 30 seconds. Pour the broth over the vegetables, and add the chicken back to the pot, bring everything to a boil. Then add the noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Sprinkle with fresh dill and parsley before serving.
