on account fo being asked for my chicken soup recipe - here it is - at least the basic one. a very old friend in england called this 'jewish penicillin' - and it works! still! better then any antibiotic!
Ingredients
- one whole chicken, nice and fat shopping list
- some freeze-dried chicken broth shopping list
- 1 onionpeeled, with some cloves stuck in shopping list
- 1 bay leave shopping list
- some lovage (levisticum offizinale - Liebstöckel or Maggikraut) shopping list
- 'Suppengrün' (a mixture of vegetables which go into any soup stock - pieces of celery root, parsley (the root as well as the leaves), a carrot, some leek, all tied together) shopping list
- salt shopping list
How to make it
- wash chicken, pat dry
- put into pot with salted water and granulated chicken broth
- add onion, bay leave and lovage
- put lid on, bring water to a boil, remove froth with slotted spoon.
- reduce temperature to middle setting.
- after approx. 30 minutes, remove bay leave, onion and lovage
- add 'suppengrün'
- leave to cook for about another 30 minutes.
- remove chicken
- put broth through strainer.
- now, add sliced carrots, some leek, whatever vegetables you'd like, slice them up. let them cook until tender - leave soup as is,w ithout vegetables.
- you may want to cook separately either rice or noodles to add to the soup. don't cook them in the soup as it will make the broth look milky
- now, whenever i have a cold, (and also when i don't), i cook chicken soup. and breeeeeaaaath in the steam. drink it out of a soup cup.
- believe me - it is simply the best. good for the soul, too.
