Common mistakes to avoid when cooking grandmas chicken noodle soup recipe

Cooking easy crockpot soup recipes is not at all complicated, on the contrary. As you already know, I think that a multicooker or a slow cooker will definitely ease your cooking.

But an extremely important aspect for cooking grandmas chicken noodle soup that is extremely tasty and nutritious refers directly to the correct boiling of the chicken/turkey meat.

For those who have cooked chicken vegetable soup recipes before, you already know that when you use chicken/turkey meat, it is necessary to remove the foam that results after boiling.

So, when you cook grandmas chicken vegetable noodle soup in a pot with a lid, you need to occasionally lift the lid and remove the foam resulting from boiling the meat, with the help of a skimmer spoon.

If, you will use a slow cooker or a multicooker, like I did, it is absolutely necessary to boil the meat in a different pot, for at least 5 minutes, before adding the meat into the slow cooker/ multicooker, along with the rest of the ingredients. Thus, you have the possibility to eliminate that foam, which otherwise would have remained in the soup and would have affected the taste of your dish.

The secret for a delicious grandmas chicken noodle soup recipe

Considering the fact that not many people have access to vegetables and meat that come from gardens or small farms, grown organically, and most of the time we turn to the products we find in the store, whose taste is not the same as it was in the time of our grandmothers, fortunately we can use various tricks to boost the taste of soup.

To achieve this, I suggest you use dry (or dehydrated) vegetables, finely chopped. You can prepare such a mixture at home, or you can buy it from stores. However, I suggest you look for such natural vegetable mixtures, which do not contain flavor enhancers or food colorings.

This mixture of dried vegetables is added to the soup just like salt and black pepper, for extra taste, from the beginning of the cooking process.

Another ingredient that contributes significantly to the taste of soups is fresh green parsley, which you can finely chop and add to the soup, or you can boil it tied in a bunch and then remove it from the soup. I do this because my daughter Sofia is not a big fan of green parsley, but I still want us to enjoy its taste and nutritional benefits, so I resort to this trick.

Just like any other soup, grandmas chicken noodle soup recipe can be cooked in advance and frozen. Or you can freeze it if you think you have cooked too much. Simply use freezer containers or bags and then defrost and enjoy your favorite soup whenever you need.

Also, if you have cooked a larger amount of soup and want to serve it for several days, I suggest you keep it in the refrigerator for a maximum of 5 days, considering that it is a soup that contains meat, and reheat only the amount that you need for a meal. Reheating the soup several times leads to its alteration.
