INGREDIENTS

Soup:
1/2 tablespoon light olive
2 cups diced celery
1 cup diced carrots
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry minced onion
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons dried parsley, divided (see below)
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground poultry seasoning
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon worcestershire

3 precooked, boned, skinned chicken thighs, roughly shredded, then cut into bite-size pieces
2 green onions, cut into 1/4" slices (both white and green parts)
1 (reserved) tablespoon dried parsley
1/4 cup frozen sweet peas

Noodles: Prepared and stored separately (See 'Leftover Tip' below)
--1 (8-oz pkg) No-Yolk Broad-Egg Noodles, prepared according to pkg directions (10-12 mins. cooking time)

Cheddar Cornbread (15-20 minutes baking time):
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
--1 (8.5-oz. pkg) dry Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
1/4 cup shredded medium cheddar cheese

METHOD

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and set aside a sprayed, square 7" baking dish.  Place a separate medium pot on stove with 4 quarts water over high heat for water to boil for noodles.

First, begin preparing soup by heating oil in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium high heat.  Add and saut� celery, carrots, dry minced onion, basil and 1 tablespoon dried parsley, granulated garlic and onion, lemon pepper, poultry seasoning, and turmeric for 5 minutes.  Add chicken broth, white wine vinegar, and worcestershire; stir to combine.  Bring soup to boil, then reduce heat to medium low to simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare noodles according to package directions.

Also, begin preparing cornbread batter in a small bowl by beating an egg with 1/3 cup milk, add and mix in with a fork the dry corn muffin mix, and fold in shredded cheddar cheese.  Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake, uncovered, in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.

At this point, finish soup by adding the chicken, green onions, remaining 1 tablespoon dried parsley, and frozen peas. Cook for 2 minutes, then turn off heat.

Drain noodles in a colander at end of cooking time.

Remove cornbread at end of baking time, and cut into 6 squares.

To serve, place 3/4 cups of prepared noodles into each bowl and ladle soup over top. Place filled soup bowls onto separate dinner plates, each with squares of cheddar cornbread slathered with butter ;) alongside. ~ Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leftover Tip: I store cooked noodles separately in the refrigerator in ziploc bag so as to maintain their integrity, with the actual soup separately, covered, in an air-tight container.

My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain).
