How to Make Bone Broth Chicken Noodle Soup
Add olive oil to a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat. Sear the bone-in, skin-on chicken breast on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan.
In the same pan, add diced onions, carrots and celery. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic, sauté until fragrant. Stir in the bone broth and traditional low-sodium chicken stock. Add the bay leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Next, add the bone-in chicken back into the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and allow the chicken to finish cooking. May take 30-35 minutes. Remove the chicken. Once it’s cool, dice or shred it into small bites ensuring to discard the bones.
Stir in the shredded chicken, add the pasta and cook until tender. 7-8 minutes. Remove the soup from the heat, stir in the fresh squeezed lemon juice, fresh parsley and dill. Serve hot.
