Ingredients

Chicken and Broth

1 cut-up whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lb)
4 1/2 cups cold water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 medium celery stalk (with leaves), cut-up
1 carrot, cut up
1 small onion, cut up
1 parsley sprig

Soup

2 medium carrots, sliced (1 cup)
2 medium celery stalks, sliced (1 cup)
1 small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
1 cup uncooked medium egg noodles (2 oz)
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps

1

Remove excess fat from chicken. In Dutch oven or stock pot, place chicken, giblets (except liver) and neck. Add remaining chicken and broth ingredients; heat to boiling. Skim foam from broth; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer about 45 minutes or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
2

Remove chicken from broth. Cool chicken about 10 minutes or just until cool enough to handle. Strain broth through cheesecloth-lined strainer; discard vegetables. Remove skin and bones from chicken. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. Skim and discard fat from broth. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate broth and chicken in separate containers up to 24 hours or freeze for future use.
3

Add enough water to broth to measure 5 cups. In Dutch oven, heat broth, sliced carrots, sliced celery, chopped onion and bouillon granules to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until carrots are tender.
4

Stir in noodles and chicken. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 7 to 10 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
Start with 3 cups canned chicken broth and 3 cups cut-up cooked chicken or turkey instead of making the chicken and broth.
tip 2
Leave nothing to waste. Three to 3 1/2 pounds of chicken necks, backs and giblets (except liver) can also be used to make broth.
