Chicken soup is cooked in Friday as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Simmer chicken with carrot, celery, and onion and serve the clear broth with fine noodles. Wheat noodles stand in for egg lokshen. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.

If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. Chicken soup looks done at the edge and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue, not the color. Check the thickest piece and give it a few more minutes. Chicken soup turned out salty, dry, or watery. Weigh the salt and the liquid next time. Keep the heat at the temperature in the method, and stop when the doneness cue appears.
