Cumin Rubbed Chicken Noodle Soup Food

CUMIN GET IT CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat half of the oil over medium heat. Add drumsticks, turn and brown on all sides, approximately 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in frying pan over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Saute until slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add cumin and chilli powder, stir to coat vegetables and let spices toast for a couple of minutes and turn off heat.
• In chicken pot, add 6 cups of broth and be sure to scrape any chicken bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer drumsticks for 10 minutes. Remove chicken with tongs to cool and skim any foam off the top of the broth.
• Add remaining 2 cups of broth to frying pan, to help spices release from the pan. Scrape bottom of pan and pour contents into large pot. Add orzo and zucchini and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove chicken meat from drumstick bones. Be sure to remove the hard rubbery bits that can be found at the end of the tendons. Cut meat into large chunks. Add meat and corn to soup and simmer until heated through and orzo is cooked to your liking.
• Add salt and pepper if you prefer but we found that it really didn't need it.

SUNNY'S CUMIN-RUBBED CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken generously all over with salt, pepper and cumin. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Add the olive oil to a soup pot on medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the chicken skin-side down. Cook, undisturbed, until a peek beneath reveals a golden crust, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and continue. (The goal here is to just get flavor and fat from the chicken, not cook it.)
• Add the jalapenos, onions and a pinch of salt to the pot. Cook, moving the veggies around until they become golden in spots, about 4 minutes, then add the sofrito and soup base and bring to a bubble. Remove the skin from the chicken and discard. Add the chicken back to the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add 4 cups water to the pot and bring to a bubble again. Lower to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes.
• Add the egg noodles and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Just before serving add the cilantro and stir. Divide into 4 bowls, giving each a piece of chicken.

• Cook noodles in a large pan of boiling salted water about 7 minutes or until just tender.
• Drain well.
• Keep the noodles in a separate container if you plan to reheat the soup; otherwise they soften too much as they sit in the soup.
• Before serving the soup, thoroughly skim the fat from the broth.
• The cooler the broth is, the easier this will be.
• The simplest way is to refrigerate the soup so the fat solidifies on top and can be easily removed.
• Otherwise, skim the fat from the soup's surface several times with a large spoon.
• Remove chicken pieces and discard their skin.
• Leave pieces whole or pull or cut meat from bones; return chicken to soup.
• For a lighter dish, you can reserve part of the meat for other uses.
