Dinner Recipe: Chicken Noodle Soup
Servings: 6-8
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step
Chicken noodle soup is one of the world’s most beloved comfort foods for good reason. Chunks of juicy chicken mingle with carrots, celery, and tender egg noodles in a deep, savory broth for a soup that will transport you right back to Grandma’s table.
Recipe by: Taylor Ann Spencer
-
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
- 2 lb. bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces, preferably a mix of chicken thighs and breasts
- 8 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 4 cupscold water
- 2 thyme sprigs
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 1/4 c.)
- 2 celery ribs, sliced 1/8" thick (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 1 large carrot, peeled, halved lengthwise, sliced 1/8" thick (about 1 cup)
- 6 oz. wide egg noodles
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- In a large, deep pot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Season chicken on all sides with 2 tsp. salt, then add to pot skin side down. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 5 minutes more.
- Add stock, water, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a bare simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 165°, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Transfer chicken breasts to a cutting board. Continue to cook dark meat about 40 minutes more. Transfer dark meat to cutting board and let cool at least 10 minutes. Remove skin and bones and discard. Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Meanwhile, discard thyme and bay leaf. Add onion, celery, and carrot and cook over medium-low heat, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a bare simmer and stirring occasionally, until just barely tender, about 5 minutes. Add egg noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until just al dente, about 5 minutes more.
- Stir in chicken and pepper; season with remaining 2 tsp. salt, as needed.
- Divide soup among bowls. Top with parsley and more pepper.
- Make Ahead: Soup (without noodles) can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate. To serve, bring soup to a simmer in a large pot, add noodles, and simmer until noodles are al dente, about 5 minutes.

Dessert Recipe: Chocolate caramel dessert lasagne
Servings: 8
Taste.com.au ~ Step by Step
We love a shortcut! This cheat's dessert is made using store-bought ingredients like frozen cake and chocolate mousse mix, so you can get it prepped in 20 minutes flat.
Recipe by: Tracy Rutherford
-
Ingredients:
- 2 x 350g packets frozen chocolate cake
- 1 cup thick caramel (dulce de leche), plus extra, to serve
- 1 cup milk
- 70g sachet chocolate mousse mix
- 300ml carton thickened cream
- 1/3 cup chocolate-coated almonds, coarsely chopped
- Unwrap and slightly thaw frozen cakes. Use a large serrated knife to cut each cake in half horizontally.
- Place the iced half of 1 cake in a 20cm square baking dish. Use two-thirds of the base of 1 cake to cut and fill any gaps in the dish to completely cover the base.
- Spoon caramel over the top of the assembled cake and use the back of the spoon to gently spread all over (the cake may not be fully covered).
- Combine the milk and mousse mix in a bowl and prepare the mixture following the packet directions. Spread over the caramel layer and smooth the surface. Place in the fridge for 1 hour or until set.
- Place the remaining iced cake half, iced side up, on top of the mousse layer. Use two-thirds of the remaining cake base to cut and fill any gaps. (Save the offcuts for a treat!)
- Use electric beaters to whisk the cream in a bowl until firm peaks form. Spread over top of the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight to set.
- To serve, sprinkle with chopped chocolate almonds and drizzle with extra caramel.
