chicken noodle soup

Yields1 ServingPrep Time45 minsCook Time45 minsTotal Time1 hr 30 mins

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

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
1

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
2

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
3

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
4

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
