1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, fry in butter and oil in a large pot until browned on both sides (not fully cooked through), remove to a plate.
2. Add leek and onion with a sprinkle of salt to the pot and saute for 3-4mins until softened.
3. Add garlic and cook for another 1-2mins
4. Add veggies, stir well and cook for 5mins, using the residual heat and moisture to remove the browned chicken bits from the bottom
5. Add thighs back in and nestle into veggies
6. Top with liquid broth, bone broth concentrate (if using), and herb bundle.
7. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to simmer on low for 1-2hours.
8. With 20-30min left, add corn and noodles. Having the heat low means the noodles will take longer to cook but they'll be super tender and perfect for a sore throat!
9. After noodles are cooked, ladle into bowls, add cracked pepper and serve with crusty, buttered sourdough for the perfect sickness buster 💚
