"No Chicken" Chicken Noodle Soup
It’s almost universal, our yen for chicken soup. I don’t know of any hard evidence that it actually cures anything, but I do know it’s where I turn when I’ve had a rough day. This recipe is an amalgamation of the soup my mother served me after swim-team practice in the winter and the hundreds of bowls I’ve enjoyed outside my parents’ cozy kitchen.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot, peeled and diced
2 celery ribs, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
6 cups chicken stock (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
2 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked al dente
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a large soup pot or saucepot, warm oil over medium heat. Add carrot, celery, and garlic and cook 3 to 5 minutes, being careful not to brown the garlic. Add stock, raise heat to high, and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer 5 minutes. Add pasta and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Perfect
This was just the recipe I was hoping for- as filling and cozy and tasty as a winter homemade soup should be, but without chunks of meat. I’m using egg noodles & extra celery. Thank you!!

Chicken noodle soup
I'm sure you didn't mean for it to be meatless -- oops!
That’s a popular question,
That’s a popular question! The recipe does not have chicken meat in it, just chicken stock. We’ve updated the title to avoid further confusion.
