We're making homemade chicken noodle soup.

今天，我們要做的料理是—雞湯麵。

Every time we think about this soup, we want to make it.

一想到雞湯麵，我們總會迫不及待地製作這道料理。

It's pure comfort food.

這是一道可以滿足身心靈的料理。

Thankfully, our recipe is so easy, you can even make it tonight.

不用擔心，它的製作方法相當簡單，你今晚就可以馬上製作。

To start, we need some veggies: Just chop an onion, peeled carrots, and celery.

首先，你必須準備些蔬菜，然後將洋蔥、芹菜以及削好皮的紅蘿蔔切丁。

We keep everything similar in size, but don't worry too much about the shape.

將所有的食材切成大小一致的塊狀，不過如果大小不一，也不用太擔心。

It's okay if the soup looks a bit rustic.

雖然最後成品的賣像可能不太好，但依舊美味。

In fact, we kind of prefer it.

老實說，我們比較喜歡這種具有質樸魅力的「不完美料理」。

You can add other vegetables, too.

當然，你也可以加入其他種類的蔬菜。

Fennel, leeks, turnips, and even winter squashes would all be excellent.

茴香、韭菜、蕪菁甚至冬南瓜都是很棒的選擇。

Since we're still at the cutting board, now is a good time to mince garlic.

將所有蔬菜切丁後，接著你可以用刀子搗碎蒜頭。

You need about a tablespoon.

大概需要約一大餐匙的蒜末。

Okay, now over to the stove.

好，現在轉移陣地至爐火旁。

Melt some butter in a large pot over medium heat.

將奶油放入大鍋子中，並用中火使其融化。

When it's bubbling, add the onions, carrots, and celery,

當奶油開始冒泡時，加入剛剛切好的洋蔥、紅蘿蔔、芹菜，

and then cook until they soften a bit.

並炒到變軟為止。

Now, it's time for some more flavor.

調味的時間到了。

Stir in the garlic, a couple of bay leaves, and fresh thyme.

加入蒜末、些許的月桂葉和新鮮的百里香，並攪拌均勻。

After stirring the garlic around the pan a few times, pour in chicken stock.

攪拌均勻後，將雞湯倒入鍋中。

We're using homemade, but good quality store-bought stock works, too.

我們用的是自己熬煮的雞湯，不過你也可以買現成的、品質好的雞湯。

It's time for the chicken!

重頭戲來了—放入雞肉。

Take about a pound of skinless, boneless chicken thighs and submerge them into the simmering soup.

將約一磅左右的去皮去骨雞腿肉放入鍋中，記得要讓燉湯淹過雞肉。

Partially cover the pot with a lid, and then cook at a low simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

用鍋蓋半蓋住鍋子，用小火燉煮約二十分鐘。

Cooking the chicken this way adds flavor to the soup and keeps the chicken tender.

如此一來，燉湯裡頭會多了一份雞肉的鮮味，雞肉本身也會更加軟嫩。

When the chicken is done, take it out and shred it or chop it into bite-size pieces.

二十分鐘過後，取出煮熟的雞肉，並將它切至方便入口的大小。

Now, add the noodles.

接著，放入麵條。

These are egg noodles, but any type of pasta will work.

我們用的是雞蛋寬麵，不過你也可以使用其他種類的麵條。

When the noodles are cooked, take out the bay leaves and thyme, and then slide the chicken back into the soup.

麵條煮熟後，取出月桂葉和百里香，並將雞肉重新放回鍋中。

Season to taste and then serve with a handful of fresh chopped parsley stirred into the soup.

最後，放入一些香菜調味。

And that's it! Comforting, ultra-satisfying chicken noodle soup from scratch done in about 40 minutes.

你在四十分鐘內就完成了這一道撫慰身心的終極美味雞湯麵。

We hope you make this one. It's one of our favorites.

我們希望你會喜歡，雞湯麵是我們最愛的料理之一。
