Hey everyone, I hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a distinctive dish, chicken soup. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I am going to make it a bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Chicken Soup is one of the most popular of recent viral meals on earth. It’s easy, it is quick, it tastes delicious. It’s appreciated by millions every day. They’re nice and they look fantastic. Chicken Soup is something that I have loved my entire life.
To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have chicken soup using 13 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Chicken Soup:
- Prepare 1 large chicken (around 2.25kg), either left whole or quartered (I freeze raw chicken carcasses and trimmings from other dishes and add these to my soup for extra flavour)
- Make ready 3 sticks celery with leaves
- Get 2 medium onions, peeled
- Take 2 large leeks, halved lengthways, dark green part removed
- Make ready 1 large parsnip, peeled and halved lengthways
- Get 2 large carrots, peeled and halved lengthways
- Take 1/2 green pepper, deseeded (optional)
- Take 2 tomatoes
- Take 1/2 small raw beetroot, peeled (optional)
- Make ready 1 handful parsley on the stem, no need to chop it
- Take 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus extra to taste
- Make ready Cold water
- Take Chopped parsley to garnish
Step by Step to make Chicken Soup:
- Place the chicken in a large pan and cover with cold water by 5cm.
- Add the salt and bring to a gentle boil, skimming off any scum that rises. Keep skimming for several minutes until no more appears.
- Add the vegetables and another 250ml of cold water. Bring back to a simmer and skim again if necessary.
- Put the lid on and simmer for two hours. Check the seasoning and, if significantly reduced in volume, add another 250ml water.
- Simmer for a further 1 – 2 hours.
- Add the beetroot for the last hour of cooking to give your soup the most wonderful golden colour.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Do not throw this meat away: picked from the bones, it can be used right away — perfect in a curry, a chicken pie, chopped up and mixed with mayonnaise in a sandwich — or frozen for later.
- Strain the soup through a fine sieve into a clean bowl or pan and allow it to cool.
- When cool, refrigerate overnight, then skim off most of the fat that has hardened on top. Don’t remove it all. Those little ‘golden globules’, as my late father used to call them, demonstrate its provenance.
- To serve, bring to a boil and enjoy piping hot. Garnish each bowlful with a pinch of chopped parsley, plus any (or all, if you’re my brother-in-law) of the following: kneidlach (matzo balls), kreplach (Jewish ravioli), lokshen (vermicelli or flat noodles), egg lokshen, butter beans, some of the cooked carrot from the soup, boiled rice or meat from the chicken wings.

- Chicken soup freezes well and you should always have some to hand in case of plague, famine or invasion.
