Wonderful Chicken Soup

[JoyfulCook]

The classic chicken soup consists of a clear broth, often with pieces of chicken or vegetables; common additions are pasta (e.g., noodles, although almost any form can be used), dumplings, or grains such as rice and barley. Chicken soup has also acquired the reputation of a folk remedy for colds and flu and in many countries is considered a comfort food.

Traditionally, American chicken soup was prepared using old hens too tough and stringy to be roasted or cooked for a short time. In modern times, these fowl are difficult to come by, and broiler chickens (young chickens suitable for broiling or roasting) are often used to make soup; soup hens or fowl are to be preferred when available.

Chicken Stock Recipe.

Leftover bones from a cooked or raw chicken carcass
Celery
Onions
Carrot
Parsley
Salt
Pepper

Put the leftover bones and skin from a chicken carcass into a large stock pot and cover with cold water. Add veggies like celery, onion, carrots, parsley. Add salt and pepper, about a teaspoon of salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper.

Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to bring the stock to barely a simmer. Simmer uncovered at least 4 hours, occassionally skimming off the foam that comes to the surface.Remove the bones and strain the stock.
If making stock for future use in soup you may want to reduce the stock by simmering a few hours longer to make it more concentrated and easier to store.

One of my best chicken soups is often just me cooking up what I have in the fridge and pantry - everything seems to go in I often throw in a handful or two of rice or barley - yum!

I agree Joyful! Many times I save the extra white rice that comes with chinese take out, put into the freezer and take a bag out and throw it into the chicken noodle soup pot.

just a throw together one~I pan fry cut up carrots, onions and celery, throw some s & p on them, add some cut up chicken, a quart jar of homemade broth, and then add the white rice (leftover chinese takeout then simmer for an hour or so. Hubby always has to have a sandwich with his soup, so will make him a grilled cheese.
