- 1 4-pound chicken
- 2 medium onions, unpeeled, cut in quarters
- 2 heads of garlic, cut in half crosswise
- 1 piece of ginger (4 inches, unpeeled, sliced thinly)
- 1 tablespoon of ground turmeric
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons of black peppercorns
- 2 teaspoons of coriander seeds
- 4 medium carrots, peeled, cut into half-inch pieces
- your choice of noodles
- scallions, thinly slices
- salt and pepper
Instructions
To make the stock, add the chicken, onions, ginger, bay leaves, coriander seeds, peppercorns, a few generous pinches of salt, and turmeric, and cover with water. Place the pan on the stove over medium heat and bring to a boil before lowering it to a gentle simmer. Let everything cook for about 35 minutes.
Take the chicken out, de-skin, and de-bone after it has cooled a little. Throw the skin out, set the meat aside, and add the bones and carcass back to the stock.
Leave everything to boil until it reduces to about half or a third of its initial volume, and season with salt if needed. Once reduced in volume, drain out the solids from the stock and discard the solids. To the stock, add the carrots and bring to a gentle simmer, cooking the carrots until they are tender.
Shred or cut your chicken, then add it to the pot and cook until it is heated through. Season the stock with salt and pepper if needed!
Boil your noodles separately, then serve them together with the broth and top with scallions.

How many servings? I’m guessing maybe 4? It sounds wonderful and super easy, which is very important to me. I live alone and am quite disabled, so I’m always grateful when I find something like this! Thank you! 😉
Is this for real?
Why is everything Chicken? I know its rare but some of us have an allergy to anything chicken!
So just omit the chicken or use some other meat. Why complain when the solution is so easy?
2 out of 5 recipes are not chicken.
Ain’t it the truth? Everything chicken. I am disappointed with lack of variety in the protein choices for these recipes.
