20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3-1/2 to 4 pounds), cut up
  • 6-1/2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons salt, optional
  • 2 celery ribs, quartered
  • 1 medium carrot, quartered
  • 1 small onion, peeled
  • 4 whole peppercorns
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 2 whole allspice
  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1 package (9 ounces) frozen cut green beans
  • 1 package (12 ounces) frozen noodles
  • DUMPLINGS:
  • 2 medium potatoes, cooked and mashed (without added milk or butter)
  • 1 egg, beaten or egg substitute equivalent
  • 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

  • In a 5-qt. soup kettle, combine the first 10 ingredients. Cover and slowly bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 3 hours. Remove chicken; set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Strain broth, discarding vegetables and seasonings. Add enough water to make 8 cups; return to kettle. Remove chicken from bones; discard bones and skin. Cut chicken into chunks; add to kettle along with beans and noodles. Bring to a boil; cook for 20 minutes.
  • For dumplings, combine the potatoes, egg, cream, sugar and salt if desired in a medium bowl. Gradually add flour to make a stiff dough (it should form a peak when spoon is lifted). Drop by teaspoons into boiling soup. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Yield: 12 servings (3 quarts).

Tip

Refrigerate Chicken Soup without Noodles

When I make my favorite chicken noodle soup, I find it tastes better if I refrigerate the soup without the noodles. When it’s time to serve, I add the noodles to the amount of soup I’m going to use and cook them until tender. —Martha Dimitch, Nineveh, Indiana
