Chicken Noodle Soup (Şehriyeli Tavuk Çorbası)

Ingredients

  • 1.2 lt. (2 pts.) chicken stock (made with
  • bones from your chicken roast)
  • 850 ml. (1½ pts.) water
  • 1 heaped tsp. vegetable stock powder
  • 1 tsp. tomato purée
  • 2 small tomatoes, deseeded & chopped small
  • 2 tbsp. parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 heaped tbsp. cooked chicken (diced small)

  • 50 gr. (2 oz.) noodles*
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • * if you can’t find noodles, break up fine angel hair

Method

1

Pour the chicken stock and water into a large pan. Add the stock powder, tomato purée, chopped tomatoes, finely chopped parsley, chicken pieces and seasoning. Sir together well and bring to the boil.

2

When the stock is boiling, add the noodles. Boil gently until they are cooked – about 15-20 minutes.

3

Stir in the juice of ½ lemon and simmer a couple of minutes more. Leave to rest for 10-15 minutes – when the noodles will swell nicely.

4

Serve with a wedge of lemon but make sure there is plenty of fresh, crusty bread!
