National Soup Swap Day

After posting about today being the most depressing day of the year, I discovered that tomorrow is National Soup Swap day. Now as any Jewish mother knows, nothing cures depressions faster than a big bowl of chicken soup, so I'm going to tell you all how to make a large post of the most delicious chicken noodle soup in the world.

Ingredients:

1 large Kosher chicken
1 large sweet onion
6 big carrots, peeled
6 stalks celery
1 bunch curly parsley
1 bunch fresh dill
1 package wide egg noodles
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Fill a large stock pot 2/3 full. Add the chicken and bring to a boil.
While you are waiting for the boil, cut up the onion, carrots, and celery into a large dice.
Tie both the bunches of parsley and dill together with a bit of kitchen twine.
Once the water has boiled, skim off the foam from the top of the pot.
Add the diced vegetables and the herb bunch and turn the temperature down to a low boil. Let cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until the chicken is falling off the bones.
Remove the herb bunch and throw out.
Remove the chicken and let cool in a colander over a large bowl.
While the chicken is cooling, add the egg noodles to the soup stock.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Once the chicken has cooled, pull all the meat off the bones and cut up into a large dice. Place all the chicken meat back into the pot.
Stir until the noodles are properly cooked, then serve.

I promise, no depression, no sadness, just that "I love my mom" feeling!
