Cook with care: gaogao' Chicken noodle soup

sK likes regular things, not too much fancy, solid color shirts, Converse classic version, original flavor special K, vanilla ice cream; and the most amazing part is sK just is able to get your great food only using salt and pepper. So there is no reason sK doesn’t like chicken noodle soup.

I never had chicken noodle soup from stores, because they never look delicious for me. So let me just make my own. The first time was for sK( so the was second time), it was unacceptable to use chicken stock for stores. so I made my own chicken stock, and the chicken has to be Cornish game hen.
The stock recipe is from foodnetworks, all normal stuffs:
garlic, onion, carrot, celery , turnip (only a little) and ginger(inspired from Chinese soup)
and thyme(amazing!) , not too much water and we have to make sure there is enough flavor there.
1.5-2 hrs, chicken will be very very tender (the lovely part of Cornish hen is even chicken breast meat is never dry) Take the chicken out , throw away the skin and shred the meat very very thin.
Drain the stock, discard those vegetable.
Now it's time for chicken noodle soup. Noodle is home-made egg noodle, egg -noodle can keep firm even soak in soup. I use those big pieces ones

Oliver oil +minced garlice+onion+carrot+celery, stir fried for a lit
Add my own stock, after it starts to boil, add noodle and thyme(again: p)
After noodle is cooked well, add shredded chicken and cooked shrimp.
Garnish with fresh parsley ( It is actually celery leaves in the picture)
Very delicious and hearty, all nature flavor!
PS: I also will cook noodle in chicken stock separately, add them into soup afterwards. it depends on how much water do you want in your soup.
I think it is one of the simplest food that everyone can make, nothing fancy and complicated, as long as you do it with care, you can make the most delicious chicken noodle soup in the world
