Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Herbs, Citrus, Pasta
Yield: 10 Servings

2 1/2 lb Bone-in chicken thighs
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
1 tb Oil
1 lg Onion; chopped
1 cl Garlic; minced
10 c Chicken broth
4 Celery ribs; chopped
4 md Carrots; chopped
2 Bay leaves
1 ts Minced fresh thyme
+=OR=+
1/4 ts Dried thyme
8 oz Uncooked kluski noodles
1 tb Chopped fresh parsley
1 tb Lemon juice

Pat chicken dry with paper towels; sprinkle with salt
and pepper. In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat oil over
medium-high heat. Add chicken in batches, skin side
down; cook until dark golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Remove
chicken from pan; remove and discard skin. Discard all
but 2 tablespoons drippings.

Add onion to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high
heat until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1
minute longer. Add broth, stirring to loosen browned
bits from pan. Bring to a boil. Return chicken to pan.
Add celery, carrots, bay leaves and thyme. Reduce heat;
simmer, covered, until chicken is tender, 25-30 minutes.

Transfer chicken to a plate. Remove soup from heat. Add
noodles; let stand, covered, until noodles are tender,
20-22 minutes.

Meanwhile, when chicken is cool enough to handle, remove
meat from bones; discard bones. Shred meat into
bite-sized pieces. Return meat to stockpot. Stir in
parsley and lemon juice. If desired, adjust seasoning
with additional salt and pepper. Discard bay leaves.
