Old Fashioned Chicken Corn Soup image

This is how I remembered it growing up in PA Dutch country. There is nothing like a bowl of this soup when you're under the weather or just wanting some comfort food.

Time 2h

Yield 6 quarts, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lbs chicken
4 quarts cold water
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 1/2 cups corn
2 hard-boiled eggs (diced or sliced)
1 tablespoon salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Cover chicken with water in large kettle. Cook slowly until tender(about 60-90 minutes). Add salt when water starts to boil.
  • When chicken is done, remove to cutting board until cool enough to debone.
  • While chicken is cooling, strain broth through a fine sieve.
  • Debone chicken and cut meat into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • Add corn (frozen works fine)to broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add celery and seasonings.
  • Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken and eggs.
  • Cover and cook gently for 5 minutes.
  • NOTE: If you like noodles in your soup (I do)add them with the celery and seasonings.
  • SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with Club Crackers and cubed Meunster Cheese (my favorite).
  • NOTE: This freezes well if you have not added noodles.
