Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg chicken bones (back, neck, wings)
  • 1 large onion
  • 3 carrots
  • 1 parsnip
  • 2 celery sticks
  • 1 handful thin noodles "fideo"

Instructions
 

  • Put the chicken in a pot with water, and bring to boil. When it starts boiling, skim the foam that starts to appear at the top.
  • Once the foam stops forming, add the chopped vegetables. Reduce the heat and simmer for another 15-20 minutes, until they are cooked.
  • Meanwhile, cook a handful of noodles, in a different pot, following the instructions on the packet.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat off and add the noodles if you are eating it straight away.
  • Serve hot, with chopped parsley on top, and alongside crusty bread.
