Spring Chicken And Snap Pea Soup
- 6 1/2 to 8 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 3/4 pounds bone-in chicken breast halves (about 2 small), skinned
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup carrots, cut into matchsticks
- 4 ounces dried pappardelle pasta, broken into 2-in. pieces
- 1/3 cup whipping cream
- 2 cups sugar snap peas, strings removed (snap each pea's stem and pull down sharply along the straight side), cut diagonally in half
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
- Bring 6 1/2 cups broth to a simmer in a medium pot over high heat. Add chicken, cover, and reduce heat to maintain a very gentle simmer. Poach until chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool slightly.
- Add green onions and carrots to broth, increase heat to medium, and simmer until green onions are just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add pasta and simmer until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, shred chicken from bones.
- Stir chicken, cream, snap peas, parsley, salt, and pepper into soup. Remove from heat and let stand a couple of minutes until snap peas are bright green. Add more broth if you like. Stir in tarragon and ladle into bowls.
