Why Aren’t You Making Chicken Soup?
What, do you think it’s hard?
Summer’s not over by a long shot, so keep on with those margaritas — make mine on the rocks, with cheap tequila and, extra salt…
Mmmmmm margaritas…
Ahem, moving on. When summer leaves you faster than sunshine in February, (and the fickle little goddess will) you’ll crave the comfort of soup on a cool early autumn evening.
So make the soup!
Recipe:
Simple Chicken Soup
Ingredients
1 roasting chicken, giblets removed, rinsed in cold water. You can use boneless breasts, but why would you? The idea is to make a nourishing soup and that starts with rich chicken stock and you make stock with bones.
12 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large sweet onion, chopped
6 large carrots, chopped coarsely
6 large celery ribs, chopped coarsely
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 bay leaves
Optional: juice of one lemon or 1 cup of dry white wine
