HOMESTYLE CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken under cold water truss the legs but leave a loop of additional string to help remove the cooked chicken form the pot by giving you a loop-handle to grab with tongs. Put the chicken in a large stock pot with the cold water and bring to a boil.
• Reduce to a strong simmer, but not a rolling boil, and continue to cook for 20 minutes, carefully skimming off fat and residue. Add the vegetables, salt, pepper and herb sachet to the pot and continue to cook for an additional 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the heat and cool the soup slightly before removing the chicken with the help of the looped string. Discard the cheesecloth sachet and skim any fat that has risen to the surface. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Strip the skin off the chicken and discard the skin. Pull the chicken meat from the bones, being careful to remove all the bones from the meat, add the boneless meat back to the soup pot and discard the bones. Bring the soup with the meat added back to the boil, simmer for 10 minutes before adding the noodles and chopped dill. Cook 2-3 minutes before serving in bowls with some additional dill as a garnish. Refrigerate promptly any unused portions. If only part of the soup will be served at one seating, divide the cooked soup into batches before adding the noodles and dill to prevent the noodles form being overcooked when the remaining portions are reheated.

HOMESTYLE CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and chop onion in to small pieces. Peel and chop carrots in to medium pieces. Rinse and chop celery in to small pieces. In a large pot at medium heat on the stove top put your pat of butter in the pot to melt and your EVOO drizzle as well (this allows the butter to reach higher tempatures without burning). Once heated combine carrots, onions, and celery into pot and let cook at medium. Stir often. While the veggies are cooking pull out your fresh chicken and cut the chicken breast long ways into strips so they can then be cut across for hearty chunks. Once chicken is cut up place into pot with veggies for a quick cook before adding the broth. Add paprika, the bay leaf, salt and pepper (to taste) on the chicken in the pot. Then stir into veggies. Add 64oz of broth once chicken pieces have almost completely cooked on the outside. Turn heat up to high and bring soup to a boil. While waiting for the soup to boil rinse your head of Savoy Cabbage (opt) and cut up into 1/2 dollar sized peices leaving out all stems! Set aside. Now that the pot is boiling with yummy goodness turn the heat down to between medium and low and add the cabbage. Let simmer for a minimum of 1 hour. Remember to stir ever so often. (you can simmer for as long as you want it will only let the flavors meld even better together) Once your hour is up stir the pot and remove the bay leaf from the mixture and enjoy!
