Method

  1. Put the chicken wings into a large pan with the carrots, celery, onion and thyme, and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, turn down to a simmer and cook for 1½ hours, skimming any impurities from the surface. Strain the broth through a colander, keeping the chicken wings but discarding the veg and herbs. Sieve the broth into a clean pan.
  2. Remove the meat from the wings when they've cooled a bit (discard the skin and bone), add back to the broth and re-heat. Cook the pasta in the broth, then add the peas and cook until tender. Season and serve.

Know-how

You can get organic or free range chicken wings from most supermarkets or butchers. They're very cheap and they make a good soup base. You could substitute organic chicken stock, but it's really no effort to make your own. Something about the slurpiness of noodles appeals to everyone.
