What she’d tell you
Every grandmother in every country has a version of this and every one of them believes hers is the cure. Mine has dill in it, and I am right.
What you need
Written for 6. Change that in the app and the amounts follow.
Tick things off as you get them ready.

How it goes
Put the chicken thighs and the broth in a large pot. Bring to a bare simmer and cook 25 minutes.
Lift the chicken out to cool. Skim any foam from the surface.
Add the diced carrot, celery and onion to the broth with the salt and simmer 12 minutes until tender.
Shred the chicken off the bone and return it to the pot with the pasta. Simmer 8 minutes more.
Take it off the heat, grind in the pepper and stir in a great deal of chopped dill.
If you haven’t got it
Pasta
rice, or nothing at all if you want the broth clean
Dill
parsley, though I will say it is not the same
Keeping it
Four days in the fridge and it deepens every day.
Gently on the hob. Freezes for three months: best without the noodles.
