my go to chicken noodle soup - I am borrowing generously from a Hawaiian recipe Mac gave me
you'll need 3 pots, one must be large to hold all the soup
this can be done in 1&1/2 hrs if you're very quick with the prep

Prep Time45 minsCook Time45 minsTotal Time1 hr 30 mins

veg pot - large one

2 diced onions - choose a mix: yellow/spanish/vidalia/sweet/shallot

diced celery - match the volume of the onions, will be like 4-8+stalks depending on the size

diced carrots - match volume, like 2 large ones or so

6 cloves garlic - crushed then sliced

1216 oz sliced mushrooms - some packages are precut

4 tbsp olive oil

chicken - small/med pot

1 large fist of fresh ginger, peeled chopped into nuggets and crushed

3 bay leaves

3 dried red chili peppers

1 tsp dried thyme (a healthy teaspoon, be generous)

¼ tsp dried oregano - less generous

1 small package chicken thighs, no more than 4-5

garlic, crushed, maybe, I don't quite remember, won't hurt to include it here

salt and water

olive oil - cause it's delicious

3rd pot

water and salt to boil

2 cups dry pasta, like half a box

finishers

1 chunk of parmesan, or the rind if you have one

apple cider vinegar

prep the chicken pot

add all the ingredients into the pot, fill with water to cover
heat till boiling, then reduce to simmer
cook for like 30-40 mins till chicken is done

set water to boil

in 3rd pot - (med-large) set water to boil for pasta, add salt to taste
proceed to veg pot but once the water is boiling, add pasta
cook till over done, then turn off water, let them sit and soak a bit

prep the veg pot

chop veg till they're basically uniform with themselves
drop oil into large pot, heat over med heat
add veg - I usually add the carrots, onions first, then celery, then mushroom, then garlic last
this will sweat the veggies till they're soft
add salt and pepper to taste

3 pots become one

pick out the chicken and cut in half, or shred if you like
add to the veg pot
pull out the ginger, the chili peppers, bay leaves
add the stock to the veg pot

ladle/drain the pasta and place into veg pot
add the pasta water in stages - taste as you go - depending on salt added, you may have to add water to balance
add as much pasta water as you can, top the rest off with regular water
add parmesan if available
heat to a boil then simmer - add splash of apple cider vinegar

cooke for another like 5-15 to let things come together
ladle into bowls
