The Best 'Rustic' Chicken Noodle Soup... with my secret ingredients to make it healthy!

[@limeparticle]

I randomly came over and did a lil mini binge of Darren’s videos earlier this week, you can all thank me for having summoned him 🥰

[@jodifinnegan4453]

Thank you!!!! 😂😂

[@shawnaweiss5407]

You copied my hack! I own his treasured cookbooks and treasure them like gold. Worth every dollar!

[@lindanorris2455]

nice chowdah recipe!

[@jodydonaldson4125]

I was fortunate to be a Thanksgiving dinner guest this year. Shortly before we all departed, my hostess asked if I would like to take home dark or white meat. How generous of her. I told her, a very good friend, what I would really like was the turkey carcass. She laughed and said she was just about to put it in the trash.! It was rescued and went home with me. The very next day, I turned it into 10 quarts of delicious, rich stock. My freezer is now filled and I am ready to make soup very similar to yours. I have missed seeing you - how lovely to have you back! Please don’t stay away so long next time.

[@jmclen7]

I did that this year. Made a soup from the leftover Thanksgiving turkey carcass for the first time. It was so good. Richer than chicken soup. Definitely want to pile on here and encourage anyone who hasn’t tried it to give it a shot. Better than days of turkey sandwiches too. And the roasted carcass just adds color and depth to the flavor. Can’t wait to do it again.

[@darkskinamerican7826]

As soon as he started cutting the onions rapidly without looking at it I knew this guy was the real deal. That made me sit up

[@stevendezwaan5707]

My family and I don't even need to be sick to enjoy a nice chicken noodle soup. I love making it on cold, fall/winter days. I may even try adding ginger, turmeric, and parsley to mine as I never thought about that.

[@carols3517]

Parsley is a must, even if dry chopped from jar. I've never tried turmeric or ginger either but will try. Another must is dry bay leaves. Just take out when done. Looks great but sure needs more broth I think.

[@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits]

Wonderful!! When ever I make soups or stews of any kind, I NEVER peel my carrots. I have tested over the years, and when carrots go in unpeeled, the flavor is SUPERB and SO much better!! I never peel carrots anymore for anything. Blessings.

[@Johnnybananass-_]

Im not even sick and I wanna make this this week,

[@marshallwelsh4115]

Hello Chef! Thank you so much! I very much enjoy your channel. My paternal great grandfather came to America from Scotland and my grandmother was the whitehouse pastry chef for President Taft. I followed in her footsteps and am celebrating my 47th year in the professional kitchen, now teaching and greatly enjoying your stories, skills and passion. 😊

[@andreweden9405]

It's definitely the weather for it where I am! It's currently 36⁰F (2⁰C) and raining. It's only going to take the sun going down, and all of that is going to freeze up tonight! It's absolutely dreadful out. I'm doing my best to keep a couple of the local stray cats very well fed!

[@janabirnbaum9371]

Danke für das tolle Rezept. Ich werde meine Suppe auch mal mit Kurkuma, Oregano und Ingwer ausprobieren.

[@jaydoggy9043]

You can never go wrong with chicken noodle. There are all these recipes for fancy/artisan soups but when it comes to a classic? can't go wrong. I keep a bag in my freezer collecting chicken bones. When it's full and I have a day off: into the pot it goes to gently simmer for the day. Out it goes into the mason jars for the time needed.

[@slomo1716]

I've been making homemade Chicken soup for years, and especially when cold or flu season hits my house. Miracle cure!

[@user-xp5qx8wg9x]

Wow! Those chopping and peeling skills. So neat and tidy AND fast -you don't see that too often. Good tips about the antioxidants too. Thank you ♥️

[@thenanlife1141]

Just love Darren Mcgradys cooking videos , English cooking at its best ❤❤❤

[@anthonyhargis6855]

"Home-made" chicken soup is always the best. Your's looks fantastic, Darren. 🍜

[@stacylamb5607]

I always put tumeric , ginger , garlic and Italian seasoning mix in my s chicken soup . Instead of noodles or rice I put cubed potato in it . I make for where people get sick or have a surgery that way they can have something nourishing to eat

[@briandfallon74]

We have the same recipe! If I have homemade stock , I’ll use chicken breast. If I need homemade stock, I start with a leftover roaster chicken, carrot, onion and celery to make a double batch of stock. If I am feeling sick, I also add cayenne pepper. If I’m not, I’ll add in fresh mint.

[@Merdulac]

I enjoy homemade soup as well as the next guy, however, sometimes it is nice to have Campbell’s soup to add to the pantry supplies. Campbell’s Soup supplies jobs, tax bases, and assistance to busy moms with a bunch of mouths to feed fast. You are a great chef no question, you don’t need to dump on others. Both sources are needed. God Bless us all!

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Agree, the way the scent of it cooking makes the home feel is part of the joy.

[@jodifinnegan4453]

Now that's what i call a delicious pot of soup!!!! ❤️

[@J.M.Chadwick6]

I am a terrible cook but somehow I have lived to an "advanced age". Occasionally I discover a recipe that looks interesting and I try it. This one did and I made the attempt. Without a doubt it is the best chicken soup I have ever made! I put containers in the freezer and one container provides three servings. As the soup is heating I cook the pasta or barley or whatever I decide to use separately and add it at the end. (Its nice to try different things and sometimes I don't add anything.) Thank you for posting this video!

[@MrKevinCarioca]

You helped me make Thanksgiving great. Usinongnthr Windsor Birthday Cake for my Mom’s 95th Birthday next month. All the best Chef!

[@VDash-Slesinski]

I would make huge pots of chicken soup and freeze batches of it. But I put potatoes in it instead of noodles. My mother-in-law was living with us at the time and if I was running short of time I would serve that. She loved it and it was a complete nutritious meal for her.

[@subrosa7mm]

My husband has a cold. All I need to get some chicken breast. Thank you Darren.

[@Mkbshg8]

He's probably just being lazy.

[@Hydracat404]

I love this soup. My dear Granny made it in the cold moths almost every week. We loved it! The only few differences my Granny did was using potatoes instead of noodles and adding parsnip. Frankly autumn and winter without this soup aren't fun at all. 😁

[@dawnchellis6003]

I love the music. You aways brighten my day!

[@JulieR73]

Many blessings to the McGrady family and all who watch these videos!

[@laurenschenck5355]

I completely agree 100% soup is always the best help us feel better when we are sick ❤

[@natviolen4021]

Not only when we are sick. It works wonders against the blues, too.

[@margaretre7050]

Darren knows what he is talking about...Best and easiest chicken soup. Thank you.

[@brooklyn8760]

This was bloody amazing to watch as I’m not feeling well myself

[@eagleheart1000]

I just made this soup. I used brown rice instead of pasta. It's absolutely wonderful. Thank you, chef, for the amazing recipe. And love.

[@shvat26]

Dear Chef McGrady - I've seen your videos for a couple years and enjoyed them both for entertainment and learning. Just made your rustic chicken soup and, tasting tells me it's delicious! Many thanks, a new recipe to go into rotation. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Toronto...

[@laurenschenck5355]

So glad you are back missed your videos ❤

[@tanyawood275]

I love this kind of dish in the fall and winter! I make this almost the exact same way but yours looks better than mine! Love watching you cook!!

[@oakmg8352]

If you have the time and no broth here's how I make it: Carrots, Celery, Onion, Parsnip, Leek, Thyme/Parsley tied together, garlic, a few peppercorns, bay leaf, Leftover roast chicken carcass (leave some dark meat on) and cold water to cover in a large soup pot. Place a sauce pan on top of all that to hold the ingredients under water. Bring to boil then reduce to very slow simmer (a bubble here and there) for 6-8 hours. Resist the temptation to boil as that will emulsify the chicken fat into the water and cause your soup to be cloudy. Skim the chicken fat and add more water periodically. Discard all as they will be mushy. Makes a great starter broth

[@jamescaron6465]

That’s really good I never thought to put turmeric and ginger in my chicken soup but now I’m going to. I put in escarole in mine as well.

[@gloriajackson2021]

That looks sooo good on this cold rainy day! And I wish I could chop an onion like that lol.

[@truecynic1270]

My favourite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with egg noodles!!!!!!!!!! And so much better than canned......................How about more recipes, PLEASE!!!Thank you!! You're so inspiring! and motivating and your recipes are SO wonderful!

[@brentbailey3621]

I love to make my own stock when I make this - amazing - love your recipe - thanks

[@jaehaspels9607]

You Tube didn't tell me that you had a new vid out like they're supposed to. I was so happy to see you again. You're right about home made soup being better than canned but when I'm sick, I'm really not up to making a pot of soup and waiting. I just open a can of soup doctor it up w/ garllic, ginger, pepper and lemon juice and nuke it in the microwave. Thanks for your recipe though. It looks really good.

[@Sandra-cm1du]

I hope to see more you demos more soups, chowders and stews. I do not buy can soup anymore because of the high sodium. Homemade is much better and freezes well.

[@williamscottakasoldieroflight]

Nice one! Thank you, my brother. You're right, there is nothing better for you than chicken noodle soup when you are sick. Thank you.

[@tonybuc67]

That recipe looks so delicious. I’m going to try it. Chef you are such a delight. I have enjoyed watching your videos for a few years now. You are a treasure. ❤

[@ItIsJustJudy]

My grandma made incredibly delicious chicken soup. She said the onions help give the soup that golden color. Whether she was right, who cares? 😋Love me some good soup!

[@artboxfashion4042]

This soup is done quickly and easily. I roast carcass bones and slow cook stock for at least eight hours. My go to for sickness is matzoh ball noodle soup with parsnips, carrot and celery. An italian soup I like is with chicken, stellini (tiny star) pasta, parsely, carrot, celery, basil, oregano, olive oil and lemon. And of course the Mexican version of Caldo de Pollo I grew up with. I would be delighted to add your soup to my list. Cheers!😊

[@maryMartinez1813]

Thank you, I really like this style of soup you made especially the way the chicken is shredded like that, I am going to try really sooooooooooooooooooon.

[@lisag.6599]

That looks fantastic, mouth-watering, etc., Oh boy. Thank you for sharing!

[@cicidbourbon5261]

Great recipe!!... chicken noodle soup is my very favorite #1 soup!!!!!❤🎉

[@laurenschenck5355]

OMG! Looks so delicious and amazing chicken noodle soup ❤

[@lizstraub6621]

This week, it will have to be turkey soup in my house LOL Thank you, Darren! Made me hungry!

[@c-p1976]

I always have chicken soup on hand. Made from scratch, including the broth. I recently started feeling like I was coming down with a cold, so I fasted and only drank chicken broth for two days and the cold never progressed into anything. It was amazing. Now I'm eating the soup part, which is always great for the winter months. Mine is a lot like yours. Great recipe.

[@snoopybluejeans]

Some winter hardy stews would be appreciated up here in the cold, white north. Oh Canada! I love soups and stews, anytime of year. Add a good hearty bread and your all set. Cooking for one is a drag, so I'd rather toss things in one pot and make stew or soups. Then I can freeze various serving for later.

[@franksabatine9075]

Nice to see a post , its been a while

[@lisaclark6134]

Beautiful bowl of soup!! Can't beat homemade.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Hope you had a good relaxing Thanksgiving Darren 😊

[@Jeannified]

This looks absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to make it!!! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us!

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thank you. I love chicken soup.

[@vandabellini9780]

Definitely I’ll make it. Thank you chef!

[@lisawilliams2013]

I’ve missed your videos, Chef, thanks for posting!

[@Darren_McGrady]

More to come!

[@jacobchandler577]

Yum, I made this today as was feeling sick and it tastes amazing. Added dried astragalus root for an added immune boost.

[@mallymakings2853]

I appreciate it’s an older video but thank you for sharing. You’re a very likeable, intelligent gentleman and I’m excited to try your recipe for dinner tonight. Feeling a bit under the weather so I’m sure this’ll go down a treat. Thank you kind Sir. ❤

[@deliabianco5259]

Darren, thanks for sharing your soup recipe. A hint...if you want to make your chicken soup taste like Campbell's: try using Cornish hens instead of chicken. You'll find the flavor much like Campbell's.

[@bobromphf9644]

I make this all the time but turmeric and parsley good additions. Thanks for the tip.

[@voz805]

Looks delish, I will boil the noodles separately so I can use more as we love 'em. Never saw an easy recipe like this. Thank you and love watching your expert chopping.

[@diamondhair11]

I make mine just about the same way.......I'm from the U.S. and I agree there is nothing better when feeling bad, on a cold wintery day, or anytime.... Also chicken Noodle soup is very low in calories..... Great for those of us who try to eat light. Thank you for a great video.

[@ScottALanter]

There really is something to be said about the powerful smell of chicken noodle soup when you're not feeling well. Great recipe as always, Darren. I use packaged egg noodles. But, if I have them on hand, I really like to use Reames brand frozen egg noodles, instead, because they're the closest to homemade without me actually taking the time to make them.

[@margiecarson3170]

Beautiful!!!

[@journeytothinify]

What a gorgeous looking pot of chicken soup 🍲!!

[@jackietunberg5819]

I add to my broth the following; a lit bit of chopped garlic, cubed chicken broth, poultry seasoning, some butter and anything else I see in my spices rack. You can research typical seasonings for chicken dishes to find more.

[@CaptainAhab117]

I tried mine with potatoes and white beans, highly recommended.

[@stephaniecowans3646]

I so agree with Chef Darren. . . . canned soups are horrible with all that sodium. I grew up with the Lipton dry soup mix (Chicken Noodle) and I actually hated it because too my child like palette, it was TOO peppery. I definitely want to try his recipe (but I'll use less carrots). The only canned soup I'll eat and only when I need it as comfort food is Campbell's Tomato soup, but I make it the way my mother did: using 1/2 a can of water and 1/2 a can of milk, instead of a whole can of water, so that it was more like a cream of tomato.

[@jmeyer81971]

I just made this tonight using leftover Christmas turkey… perfect, tasty and so simple! THANK YOU!!!

[@TomoMomoDomo]

I needed this so much after the month ive been having. Thank you so much!!!

[@kimlee1416]

Thank you, great receipe. I intend making it.

[@veronicabigelow4995]

Chicken noddle is one of my favorite soups.from Pennsylvania usa❤❤❤❤

[@Bertha-pm4xt]

You would be an amazing culinary teacher. I would have very much enjoyed having you as an instructor.

[@janicewebber5584]

I'll have to try it with turmeric & ginger. Sounds tasty!👩‍🍳

[@Pink-Indiana]

Hey Darren! Just love watching you chop and peel! It truly is fascinating. You have a gift with your cooking. 💯

[@jennifermitchell7562]

Wow! I would’ve loved to have had that as a kid!

[@billgale2264]

Thank you so much for this simple recipe

[@georginashanti4605]

Thanks for sharing your recipe! ☺️

[@kaynorth718]

Darren, thank you for the video. Your dishes always look spectacular. Love the presentation; I could watch/listen to you cook all day. I have enough leftover turkey from Thanksgiving to make this soup. We've had a cold snap and snow here in Colorado the past few days so this soup will smell and taste so good--looks like tomorrow would be a good day. Have never thought of adding turmeric, so will give that a try. Happy Holidays!!! 🎄☃❄

[@liespypolygraph]

Oh I wish when I get sick, someone would spoil me with this!

[@Sandra-cm1du]

I love your youtube channel and recipes. Keep cooking !!!

[@evaulrikajansson62]

Yummy!!

[@genie674]

Looks great. Going to try this.

[@drk321]

My go-to chicken soup is tom kah gai, extra spicy. No food can cure your illness but this coconut/lemongrass soup will improve your mood during your hopefully brief illness.

[@user-mc9mc]

The way you are cooking is so much good❤❤

[@JasAnderson1215]

Wow! Chef Darren, that looks delicious! Your recipe is going to be one I try when I fix Chicken noodle soup next time.

[@anick6265]

Thank you very much for the recipe 💕

[@claravela3330]

Absolutely delicious. ❤

[@williamdebates6472]

Loaded chicken soup is the best. You have to put the celery, carrots and onion in. The flavor is incredibly. My family prefers it when I make chicken vegetable soup. I shredded it like you. Usually I make the noodles separately, so that they don't suck up all the stock.

[@bluebug1974]

Love it. I’ve been missing you. Keep making videos, please.

[@Darren_McGrady]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Kristene.L]

Wish I could just reach threw for some. Looks so yummie 😊

[@lindanorris2455]

LOVELY CHICKEN SOUP!
