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.

    Being so used to my mom's perfect chicken noodle soup I didn't expect something (this easy to make) to meet my expectations, but it is actually really close in taste. I added dried forest mushrooms to the stock, I think it was a worthwhile addition.

    Great soup to make when all the family has a cold! Made it yesterday and everyone loved it, including my fussy 4 year old. It does need a good pinch of salt and a bit of pepper and I also used a few garlic cloves in the stock. Far too much pasta for it to be a soup but we had it for dinner so it was just right!
