The Decadent Way Ina Garten Overhauls Classic Chicken Soup
By KAREN HART
Homemade chicken noodle soup is the ultimate comfort food, and when Ina Garten makes it, one of her hallmark ingredients is the homemade broth that serves as its base. But, leave it to Garten to re-imagine the flavors of chicken noodle soup and create a new decadent recipe that may become your new "go-to."
Garten took to Instagram to give fans a "sneak peek" at her chicken noodle soup riff from her new cookbook "Go-To Dinners." "Now that autumn is really here, all I want for dinner is something warm and satisfying like Chicken in a Pot with Orzo. It has all the classic chicken soup flavors plus a big pinch of saffron. It's made in one big pot and the whole house smells wonderful," wrote Garten.
Saffron sounds like an unexpected addition, but it adds a beautiful taste to chicken noodle soup dishes; Martha Stewart also uses a pinch of this seasoning in her recipe. Per Spice & Sunshine, saffron "enhances" a soup's "warming" properties and brings a lovely aroma along with it; however, the blog also warns a pinch is all you need or your food will take on a bitter taste.
