  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Total Time 55 minutes
  • Yield Serves 8

Ingredients

    • 1 whole chicken (3 to 4 pounds), giblets and liver discarded
    • 1 pound carrots, sliced 1/2 inch thick
    • 1 pound parsnips, sliced 1/2 inch thick
    • 2 medium onions, cut into thin wedges
    • 4 teaspoons coarse salt
    • Cooked wide egg noodles, for serving

Directions

  1. In a large pot, combine chicken, carrots, parsnips, and onions. Add water to just cover. Stir in salt. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes (skim off foam). Transfer chicken to a plate to cool; refrigerate (see note, below). To serve soup, add noodles to broth, and season with salt, if desired.

Cook's Note

To store, pull meat from bones, keeping chicken breasts whole and tearing dark meat into bite-size pieces (discard skin and bones). Refrigerate in separate airtight containers for up to 2 days.
