- Chicken Soup
- Look for plump, yellow-skinned chickens, not white skinny ones.
- The chicken meat can be used for salad or chicken pot pie or diced up and returned to the soup for serving.
- Cover chicken and backs and necks with water by about 1-inch in large pot.
- Bring to boil.
- Reduce heat to low and skim the foam that rises to the surface.
- Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, peppercorns and parsley.
- Simmer soup for 1 hour maintaining a gentle simmer with some bubbles rising to the top.
- If you cook the soup on too high a heat, it turns cloudy.
- After 1 hour, check the chicken and if the juices are clear, remove from soup pot.
- Cool a little, remove bones, discard skin and return bones to pot, reserving chicken for another use.
- Simmer for 2 hours longer or until soup is filled with flavor.
- Strain, discarding bones and vegetables.
- Chill and remove fat.
