- Serves:

8
ingredients
- 1 broiler-fryer chicken, rinsed
- 1 large onions or 2 medium onions, halved
- 10 whole peppercorns
- 1 star anise
- 8 -10 whole allspice
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
- water
- salt
- thin egg noodles
directions
- Place chicken and onions in a stockpot and add water to cover. Set on high heat to bring to a boil.
- At this point use a tea-ball or a doubled up cheesecloth to enclose the peppercorns, star anise, allspice and bay leaves. Break up the bay leaves if you have to. Drop into the stock pot.
- Add kosher or regular salt, about 1 teaspoons.
- Simmer the soup for at least an hour, and taste after 45 minute Turn the chicken over twice.
- While the soup simmers boil your favourite soup noodles, mine are a local noodle but I use the dried cappelini in a pinch. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water when they are just done. Set aside.
- To the chicken soup add in the one can of chicken broth. Taste and add water if it's too strong, but it never is. Simmer a minute.
- Pick off the chicken meat you like into your bowl, add noodles, add the broth and maybe more salt and pepper. It's good.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I was born in a small Canadian prairie town but was raised in the city. Country living appeals to me more and more and now I think I have the best of both worlds, living just outside the city but within a 30 minute drive from downtown.
I enjoy the wildlife I see out my kitchen window and my vegetable and flower gardens in the summer. And I love cooking with the produce from my garden, although there always seems to be too much at once. Learning to can became a necessity with all those beautiful vegetables and I now really enjoy making pickles, relish, salsa, jams and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I have 2 teenage sons and cooking to suit everyone's taste is always a challenge. Recipezaar has certainly made life easier in that regard, with so many great recipes to choose from.
