Ohhhhh, awesome thread, a few weeks ago, I wanted to try my hand at making a Mirepoix mix, it ended up being the best Chicken Noodle Soup I've had.... and I alone gulped the thing in a day @.@.
What is needed:
Crockpot.
Pan to saute vegetables.
Ingredients:
Butter
Mirepoix mix (diced celery, carrot, onion, 1:1:1 or 1:1:2 ratio, can also buy a pre-made one like from Trader Joe's will do if you can't dice.): about 2 whole cups, 4 if you want more vegetables
A piece of chicken (boneless or bone-in is fine, the bones usually contribute to the soup taste)
1 can of chicken stock
A package of your favorite pasta or spaghetti noodle.
Spices Ingredients:
Salt
Crushed Black Pepper
Crushed White Pepper
1: Saute the Mirepoix mix until the onions become brown (or not-so-brown.)
2: Place sauteed Mirepoix mix into the crockpot
3: Pan-Fry the chicken so that the outside changes color slightly
4: Place chicken (with bones if there are any) into the Crockpot
5: Add the can of Chicken Stock into the Crockpot
6: Fill the Crockpot near full with water, adding a little bit of Salt and black/white pepper.)
7: Put Crockpot on high for a few hours
8: Stir every 30minutes-hour
9: Once water starts bubbling, add the pasta/spaghetti, bring the Crockpot to low.
10: Wait ~30minutes to an hour (depending on how you like your pasta/spaghetti)
11: Take the piece(s) of Chicken out to take the bone away from the meat, it should be very easy (very much like pulled pork)
12: Place Chicken back into Crockpot and stir
13: Ready to eat (add more Salt and Pepper for taste.)
Takes between 8-12 hours to make, but most of that time is spent waiting.
