Tomato noodle soup, which is suitable for every table, before every meal and cooked with healing chicken broth, is a very preferred soup in Turkish cuisine. Moreover, it can be cooked practically using very few ingredients. Enjoy your meal!
Wash the thigh chicken leg and put it in the pot and add 4-5 glasses of hot water. Add salt, pepper, bay leaf and bring to a boil over medium heat. Peel the onion and garlic, cut them in half and add them to the boiling chicken.
Grate the tomato so that the skins remain in your hands. In a separate sauce pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and turn the tomato paste for a couple of turns until it smells. Add the grated tomatoes to the fried tomato paste and cook together for 4-5 minutes.
Remove the chicken meat, onion and garlic, bay leaves with a strainer ladle from the chicken broth that is cooked and soft enough to separate from its bones.
Add the tomato sauce and vermicelli to the boiling chicken broth and mix, when it boils, take it on low heat and cook until the noodles are soft.
Close the bottom of the cooked soup and add the finely chopped parsley. Serve hot with lemon and toast. Enjoy your meal!
Note: If your chicken is too oily and the soup is heavy, cool the soup and go over it and remove the frozen fat with a spoon. You can also make this soup plain without adding chicken broth.
