Soul Healing Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients

• 1 yellow onion (diced)
• 3 carrots (sliced)
• 3 celery stalks (sliced)
• 1 tsp turmeric (can use up to 2 tsp)
• 1 tsp dried thyme (can use up to 2 tsp)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• 3 cup shredded chicken breast (cooked)
• 1 L chicken bone broth
• 8 oz noodles of choice (cooked separately and added when serving)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing vegetables)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the vegetables by dicing the yellow onion and slicing the carrots and celery stalks.

2. 2

   In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery.

3. 3

   Sauté the vegetables until the onion is translucent and the vegetables begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Add 1-2 teaspoons of turmeric and 1-2 teaspoons of thyme to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices.

5. 5

   Pour in 1 liter of chicken bone broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. 6

   Add the 3 cups of shredded chicken breast to the pot. Continue to simmer for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

7. 7

   While the soup simmers, cook your noodles of choice in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

8. 8

   To serve, place a portion of cooked noodles into each bowl and ladle the hot soup over them.

Notes

The author mentions that if you use store-bought bone broth, the recipe takes about 30 minutes. The 16-hour time mentioned in the transcript refers to making homemade bone broth from scratch. The noodles are kept separate to prevent them from getting soggy, especially if you plan to freeze portions of the soup.
