Clear Chicken Broth with Egg Noodles

Prepare all the necessary ingredients for clear chicken broth with egg noodles. A small portion will be great with about 400-500 grams of chicken wings. It will give a rich taste to the broth, and the boiled meat will be delicious and tender. It is better not to use chicken fillet for this recipe, as it may become too dry when boiled. I recommend buying farm-raised chicken. The smell of the bird should be neutral, and the meat should be light. If the skin is tender, it means the chicken is young, and the meat will remain tender after cooking. It is better to buy medium-thickness egg noodles, as they will slightly increase in size after cooking. Pay attention to its expiration date. Egg noodles can be stored for up to 6 months. The fresher the noodles, the more delicious the dish will be. You can buy such noodles at supermarkets or bakeries, sometimes labeled Handmade. Don't forget about the quality of the water for boiling the broth. Take a few grains of fragrant pepper, bay leaf, and salt as spices. Do not overload the taste of the broth with excessive seasonings. I recommend adding 30-50 grams of carrots, no more, to avoid making the broth orange in color. You will need one medium-sized onion, preferably not a red onion because of its color. I recommend cooking the broth with egg noodles in small portions. After all, this dish does not need to be infused. The most delicious broth with noodles is when it is freshly cooked.

Peel the chicken thigh to remove excess fat in the broth. This step is especially important if you are cooking for children or people on a diet. Clean the onion bulb, put it whole in a pot of water, add aromatic pepper and bay leaf.

Put a pot with the onion and spices on medium heat. Rinse the chicken thigh and place it in a separate small pot to boil. Drain the first broth from the chicken thigh as soon as it boils. Rinse the chicken thigh under running water to remove the foam from boiling, then add it to the pot with the onion. The separate pot was necessary to keep the walls of the main pot for the broth clean. This is a very important step in the preparation.

Simmer the broth on medium heat with the lid on. Check the chicken meat for doneness by piercing it with a fork. If it is tender enough, it is ready and can be removed to be divided into pieces. The cooking time of the meat can vary from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the quality. Remove any foam that appears. Add salt according to your preferences and the quality of the salt.

Remove the cooked chicken meat from the pot and separate it from the bone, then break it into small pieces. Prepare egg noodles, peel and finely julienne the carrot using a knife or a special grater. Add the noodles and carrot to the boiling broth. Cook the clear chicken broth until the egg noodles are done. The cooking time is usually indicated on the packaging.

Remove the boiled onion from the broth and add the chicken meat. If necessary, add salt to the broth. Rinse fresh parsley, finely chop it, and optionally add it to the bowl before serving. The broth remains clear and very tasty. You can add a little black pepper to the finished clear chicken broth with egg noodles if you are preparing it for adults. Enjoy your meal.
