A good friend shared this recipe with me. I like to make small tweaks to suit my taste. It's the classic grandma's soup and it freezes well. Absolutely delicious.

Steps

1

Add all the vegetables and chicken to a large pot. Fill with water, add the paprika, salt, and half a bouillon cube. Make a few cuts in the drumsticks. Drizzle in a little olive oil.
2

Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and cook for about 45 minutes. I check the carrot to see when the vegetables are done. You can remove the chicken drumsticks when they're cooked and set them aside.
3

For a pressure cooker, follow the same steps, but instead of 45 minutes, close the lid, bring to pressure, reduce to medium, and cook for 16 minutes. Then continue as in the next step.
4

After the cooking time, remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and set them aside.
5

I strain the broth and transfer it to another pot. Some people leave it as is. I blend the vegetables I removed and set them aside.
6

Bring the broth to a boil, add the soup mix, chickpeas, chicken, and mint to taste. I like to add extra noodles—a couple of handfuls. Some people add the reserved blended vegetables (this gives great flavor and makes it heartier).
7

Once it boils, lower the heat and simmer on medium-low for about 10 minutes. Check the noodles for doneness.
