Instructions

  1. 1Rinse the chicken wings
    Fresh chicken wings being washed in a stainless steel bowl under a kitchen faucet.

    Place the fresh chicken wings into a metal bowl and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. Ensure all wings are cleaned properly to prepare for blanching.

    Tip: Cleaning the chicken wings well helps ensure a clean-tasting broth.
  2. 2Prepare the chicken wings

    Using a sharp chefs knife, carefully make small cuts or scores on the surface of the raw chicken wings. This helps the wings cook more evenly and allows flavors to penetrate the meat during the boiling process.

    Tip: Score the skin lightly to avoid cutting through the bone, which helps the wings maintain their structure.
  3. 3Blanch the chicken
    Chicken wings, ginger, and green onion in a pot of cold water ready for blanching.

    Place the prepared chicken wings into a pot with cold water, adding a few slices of fresh ginger and a piece of green onion. Bring the water to a boil to blanch the wings, which removes impurities and neutralizes any raw odor.

    Tip: Adding ginger and green onion during the blanching process effectively removes the gamey smell of the chicken.
  4. 4Remove blanched wings

    Once the water reaches a boil and the chicken wings are blanched, use chopsticks to carefully remove them from the pot. Set the wings aside in a clean bowl for the next step of the recipe.

    Tip: Ensure the water is boiling before removing the wings to make sure they are properly blanched.
  5. 5Prepare vegetables
    Carrots and potatoes being neatly diced on a clean white cutting board.

    Peel and dice the fresh carrots and potatoes into small, baby-friendly pieces on a cutting board. Ensure the size of the pieces is appropriate for your babys current chewing ability to prevent choking.

    Tip: Keep pieces small and uniform so they cook through at the same rate.
  6. 6Combine ingredients
    Diced carrots and potatoes being dropped into the pot with the chicken wings and broth.

    Add the diced potatoes and carrots into the pot with the chicken wings and fresh water. Simmer everything together until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked through.

    Tip: If cooking for babies over one year old, you may add a tiny amount of salt or seasoning at this stage.
  7. 7Add noodles and cook
    A pot of simmering broth containing chicken, diced potatoes, and carrots, with baby noodles being stirred in.

    Once the potatoes and carrots are tender in the simmering chicken broth, add the baby noodles to the pot. Cook until the noodles reach the desired consistency for your baby.

    Tip: Keep an eye on the cooking time as baby noodles soften quickly.
  8. 8Debone the chicken
    Cooked chicken wings on a cutting board with the meat being separated from the bone using a kitchen knife.

    After removing the cooked chicken wings from the broth, carefully use a knife to separate the tender meat from the bones. Ensure all bone fragments are removed.

    Tip: Let the chicken cool slightly before handling to make deboning easier.
  9. 9Combine and serve
    Deboned chicken meat being added into a pot filled with cooked baby noodles, potatoes, and carrots in broth.

    Add the prepared deboned chicken meat back into the pot with the noodle soup. Stir gently to combine everything before serving to your baby.

    Tip: Ensure the chicken pieces are an appropriate size for your babys chewing ability.
