INSTRUCTIONS
Chop Boneless/Skinless Chicken THIGHS into Bite Sized Pieces to suit your preference. Do not remove fat at this time. It will cook off when you sear the pieces.
In a 6 Quart Soup Pot, add Oil and Chicken. On Medium-High Heat, quickly sear Chicken on all sides and remove from pot with a slotted spoon. Do not crowd pieces. Sear in batches if necessary. If there is a lot of fat remaining in pot, you may drain it at this time but you need some for cooking Onions.
Add Onions to pot, reduce heat to medium and saute until Onions are clear and soft. Add Celery, Carrots and 2 Boxes of Broth. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Add Chicken and remaining Broth, followed by the herbs and spices. Stir to combine and simmer for ten minutes to meld flavors.
Increase heat and add Frozen Egg Noodles.Cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
For a thicker Broth, separately mix Flour into 1/4 Cup cold water until blended smooth, then add to pot. Broth will thicken in 5 to 10 minutes.
