Leftover BBQ Chicken Soup, Asian flair with smokey flavors Recipe CaptainJim

• -6 Pcs of smoked chicken, deboned and chopped / cubed (makes about 3 cups or so). Skin adds to the flavor, so skin and all if possible
• 1 TBSP olive oil
• 2 medium onions, sliced thin
• 1-2 sliced jalapeno, seeds removed
• 1 tsp Kosher Salt
• 2 Qts chicken broth/stock (more or less to taste)
• 1 TBSP black pepper
• Juice from 2 limes, freshly squeezed or bottled
• 1 PKG Rice noodles, Substitute 1/3 package of angel hair if rice noodles not available
• Fresh basil, around 15-20 leaves, chopped (more or less to taste)

1. Sweat the onions in the olive oil in a medium stock pot, and add diced chicken and skin and jalapeno slices.
2. Add salt.
3. When onions and chicken start to carmelize (I get a nice brown ring from the spices and chicken around my porcelain lined cast iron pan, approx 4-5 mins) deglaze the pan with the chicken broth.
4. Bring the soup to a boil on med-high heat, and shut off.
5. Add black pepper, lime juice and rice noodles / angel hair.
6. Noodles should cook in hot soup in 1-2 minutes.
7. Stir in fresh basil, I love basil, so I use a lot.
8. Dried basil will not be as full flavored, so only fresh should do.
9. Serve hot!
