Chicken Noodle Soup
Make 6-8 portions
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups wide egg noodles
6-8 large carrots, peeled and cut into bite size pieces
1 head of celery, cut into bite size pieces
2 large onions, peeled, halved and sliced
3 quarts good chicken broth/stock
1 TBS minced turmeric
1 TBS minced garlic
1 TBS minced fresh ginger
1 TBS dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
Place all of the above ingredients (except the noodles and salt) into a large pot and onto the stove. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 25 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the chicken pulls apart.
Remove the chicken form the pot and allow to cool sightly. Shred into bite size pieces using two forks. Set aside.
Add the noodles to the pot and simmer until tender. Add the chicken and the salt as needed.
Serve with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

No need to use stock. You can just cook the whole chicken and shred it at the end. Tastes even better and saves time
Love it. I’ve been missing you. Keep making videos, please.
Agree, the way the scent of it cooking makes the home feel is part of the joy.
I ate many a can of Campbell's soups as a child in the 1950's. Of course, today's Campbell's soups taste nothing like they did back then. Today's Campbell soups say they are condensed, however, to be honest, they are very diluted, and almost tasteless, as compared to what I ate as a child. The brand has really gone downhill while increasing in price ten-fold.
I so agree with Chef Darren. . . . canned soups are horrible with all that sodium. I grew up with the Lipton dry soup mix (Chicken Noodle) and I actually hated it because too my child like palette, it was TOO peppery. I definitely want to try his recipe (but I'll use less carrots). The only canned soup I'll eat and only when I need it as comfort food is Campbell's Tomato soup, but I make it the way my mother did: using 1/2 a can of water and 1/2 a can of milk, instead of a whole can of water, so that it was more like a cream of tomato.
This soup is done quickly and easily. I roast carcass bones and slow cook stock for at least eight hours. My go to for sickness is matzoh ball noodle soup with parsnips, carrot and celery. An italian soup I like is with chicken, stellini (tiny star) pasta, parsely, carrot, celery, basil, oregano, olive oil and lemon. And of course the Mexican version of Caldo de Pollo I grew up with. I would be delighted to add your soup to my list. Cheers!😊
I find your videos to be very entertaining. Interesting food and a bit of background.Decided the Jammy Dodgers would be within my capability. Alas your recipe is in cups, which is totally meaningless to most of us in Europe. Actual weights would be useful. Notice cups again in this latest video.

🤤😋 Darren 👍♥️ loving the 🌞 kissed tan 👍
Oh I wish when I get sick, someone would spoil me with this!
What a gorgeous looking pot of chicken soup 🍲!!
I'd love to see you do a pie and mash with liquor.
Background music is too loud and distracting
Why is the music so loud? I’d rather just hear my sweet Darren !
Oh wow, it never occurred to me to go back and forth with the peeler, I’ve always just gone one way
Sorry late watching, your version is no comparison to Campbell's. Great easy recipe. John T.
I love that Soup
I enjoy homemade soup as well as the next guy, however, sometimes it is nice to have Campbell’s soup to add to the pantry supplies. Campbell’s Soup supplies jobs, tax bases, and assistance to busy moms with a bunch of mouths to feed fast. You are a great chef no question, you don’t need to dump on others. Both sources are needed. God Bless us all!
👍🏻
Looks delicious! We've tried making chicken soup but never has much flavor. Will try your combo for spices. We have a beef stew down real good but not so good at chicken. Do you make your own chicken broth or buy it? If you make your own broth, can you post a recipe for that we can freeze to have at hand? Thank you!
I needed this so much after the month ive been having. Thank you so much!!!

Hey Darren! Just love watching you chop and peel! It truly is fascinating. You have a gift with your cooking. 💯

Yum, I made this today as was feeling sick and it tastes amazing. Added dried astragalus root for an added immune boost.
