Kickin' Chicken Wings

Instructions

Step 1

Start by melting the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Toss in the onion and celery, and cook them, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent—this should take about 5 minutes. Next, add the water, chicken, carrots, bouillon, marjoram, pepper, and the bay leaf. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently until the vegetables are tender, around 25 minutes. Once that’s done, fish out the bay leaf and stir in the egg noodles and parsley. Turn the heat back up to bring the soup to a boil again, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the noodles are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
