FEEL BETTER CHICKEN SOUP
Today I woke up and felt a little ill. So I decided to make myself some good old feel-better chicken soup.
Being mixed, I've always grown up with two different versions of chicken noodle soup, so eventually when I grew up I just combined the two! Hispanic chicken soup usually uses tomatoes sazón, adobo, chicken thigh, lemon, and rice, but American chicken soup usually uses noodles, chicken breast, plain broth, salt, pepper, and celery.
So here's one way to twist the two together.
This recipe is pretty easy to make when you don't have a lot of energy because there is about an hour and a half of cooking where you can just sit down and relax while doing it.
3-4 Chicken Thighs or Legs (I prefer bone-in because it has more flavor and is more tender.)
3 tbsp Garlic honey (works well if fermented, it's fun and easy to make your own!) - Healing, Protection, Purification
One Goya Sazon Packet
1 Bay Leaf - Protection, Healing, Purification
1/2 Cup Baby Carrots (You could just chop up a regular carrot too lol)
1 yellow Onion
2 tsp grated Ginger - Cleansing, Energy, Healing
Half a bag of egg noodles (You could also use rice) - Longevity
4 cups chicken broth
2 green onions
Chicken Seasoning:
4 cloves garlic - Protection, Healing
1/8 cup chopped parsley - Protection, Strength
1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp adobo seasoning
1 tbsp thyme - Healing, Abundance, Health, Prosperity
2 tsp basil flakes - Abundance, Prosperity
1 tsp red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper - Banish Negative Energy
Juice of half a lemon - For Healing
Hot Scallion Oil:
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp green onion
DIRECTIONS:
Blend the chicken seasonings listed above in a blender or in a mortar and pestle. Whichever you prefer. Rub on chicken and fry in a pot with oil until each side is browned. About 4 minutes on each side.
Add in yellow onion, ginger, and garlic honey, and cook until soft. Add in carrots and chicken stock. Add in Bay leaf and goya season packet. Cook for about an hour.
Add in green onions, and taste if the soup needs more seasoning. If it does, season to taste. Simmer for another 20 minutes.
When the chicken is tender enough to where it is falling off the bone, remove the chicken from the bone and discard the bones and bay leaf.
Add in egg noodles and cook for 7-9 minutes with the lid on, until the noodles are cooked.
Heat up 2 tbsp of oil until very hot. Add in green onion and cook for a little under a minute.
Laddel soup into a bowl and top with a spoonful of scallions and scallion oil.
Enjoy!
Editors Note: I'll never understand how people take such aesthetic photos of food loll.
