i do a lovely chicken soup....but takes about 6 hours to make!! do you want the recipe!
tis very simple
after eating the chicken..
cover the carcass with cold water in a big ol' pan..... add some cut up celery , carrots & onion .
Heat gently until simmering...then add some chicken stock & seasoning. Leave bubbling for a couple of hours...skimming any icky bits off the top. THen remove the carcass and add any bits of chicken to the soup . Keep simmering, skimming and tasting..adding more seasoning if neccesary. if you leave the skin on the onion, it makes the colour of the soup a bit darker..
you can reduce it further to intensify the chicken flavour....add thin vermiccelli...
if you have any Jewish delis near you, buy some mandels ( fluffy sort of croutons) or lokshen - thin long soup pasta!
and some matzoh balls ! which i cannot make, but are very simple apparently!
excellent for poorly people!
you can leave the soup in the fridge overnight and then skim the fat off in one go, but i skim as i go !!!
HTH! xx
