Directions

Lots of noodles in a clear broth that relies on fresh dill for its aromatic flavor. A good first course soup.

Note: As mentioned into the introductory paragraphs, you can substitute any other noodles that you think are appropriate.

Preparation:

Tie a string around dill and parsley stalks for easy removal later. Combine all ingredients except noodles in a 6-quart pan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer covered for 1-½ hours. Remove dill and parsley. Simmer 10 minutes uncovered. For best flavor, cover soup and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Remove vegetables. Boil noodles in soup broth for 6 minutes. Slice carrots and parsnips and return to soup if desired.

Yield: 8 to 10 servings

End of recipe: Hope this recipe can be used by vegetarians on this list who need a mock chicken soup recipe.
