Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces of chicken breast or thighs
  • 1 onion peeled
  • 1 kohlrabi peeled
  • 2 carrots peeled
  • 2 parsley roots peeled
  • 2 garlic cloves peeled
  • A bunch of parsley leaves
  • Salt
  • Whole black peppercorns
  • Noodles of your choice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Broth:

  • Place the chicken pieces in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
  • Add a pinch of salt and a few whole black peppercorns.
  • Bring the pot to a boil over medium heat. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
  • Allow the soup to simmer for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. During this time, skim off any white foam that forms on the surface.

Add the Vegetables:

  • Once the broth is clear, add the cleaned and chopped onion, kohlrabi, carrots, parsley roots, and garlic to the pot.
  • Let the soup cook on low heat for another hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Remove the Chicken and Vegetables:

  • After the soup has cooked, carefully remove the chicken pieces and vegetables from the pot. Set them aside.
  • Adjust the seasoning of the broth with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the Noodles:

  • In a separate pot, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Assemble the Soup:

  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • Slice or dice the cooked carrots, parsley roots, and kohlrabi if you plan to eat them. You can discard the parsley leaves if you prefer.
  • In serving bowls, add some noodles, pieces of chicken, and desired vegetables. Ladle the hot broth over them.

Serve:

  • Garnish with chopped parsley leaves and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Enjoy your warm, comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup!
