👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a large pot and fry the onion and garlic in it 3 minutes.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveLarge pot
  2. 2
    Add the chicken and fry 5 minutes on each side, until the chicken browns.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add the water, carrot, celery, turmeric, salt and black pepper and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer at a gentle bubble uncovered 40 minutes.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  4. 4
    Remove the chicken from the pot, separate the meat from the skin and bones and cut into pieces.

  5. 5
    Add the noodles to the pot and cook 8 minutes, until the noodles is tender.
    Stove
    💡Noodles and grains cooked in the soup absorb its liquid and keep softening: add them only at the end, when the soup is ready.
  6. 6
    Return the chicken meat to the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  7. 7
    Ladle the hot soup into bowls, with the vegetables and the meat.
