INSTRUCTIONS
TO SERVE
Rinse the chicken under cold water truss the legs but leave a loop of
additional string to help remove the cooked chicken form the pot by giving
you a loop-handle to grab with tongs. Put the chicken in a large stock pot
with the cold water and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a strong simmer, but not a rolling boil, and continue to cook for
20 minutes, carefully skimming off fat and residue. Add the vegetables,
salt, pepper and herb sachet to the pot and
continue to cook for an additional 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the heat and
cool the soup slightly before removing the chicken with the help of the
looped string. Discard the cheesecloth sachet and skim any fat that has
risen to the surface. Cook the egg noodles according to the package
directions. Strip the skin off the chicken and discard the skin. Pull the
chicken meat from the bones, being careful to remove all the bones from the
meat, add the boneless meat back to the soup pot and discard the bones.
Bring the soup with the meat added back to the boil, simmer for 10 minutes
before adding the noodles and chopped dill. Cook 2-3 minutes before serving
in bowls with some additional dill as a garnish. Refrigerate promptly any
unused portions. If only part of the soup will be served at one seating,
divide the cooked soup into batches before adding the noodles and dill to
prevent the noodles form being overcooked when the r
emaining portions are reheated
