Even my chicken-soup-hating-husband likes this soup! With a few minor changes, it is a good basic chicken soup recipe. DO NOT add the vegetables when cooking the chicken or they will be too mushy when the soup is done and covered in the scummy looking "foam" formed by the simmering chicken. (If you find the stock too bland on its own, you can always add a bit of chicken bullion, if needed.) Skim off "foam" as the chicken simmers or your soup will be cloudy when done. Remove chicken and cut into bite size pieces. Return to pot and add the garlic and vegetables - carrots, onions, and celery (instead of celery salt). We do not like cilantro or dill, so I substitute parsley. Cook pasta of choice (we like thin egg noodles) in a separate pot and either stir into soup just before serving or top individual servings with the cooked pasta.
