  • Chicken Soup Recipe

    Recipe: Chicken Soup

    Summary: This is a classic chicken soup recipe. I like to make more than enough for one meal since it reheats nicely and can be the base for chicken and dumplings.

    Ingredients

    • 8 cups chicken stock
    • 3 carrots diced
    • 3 celery stalks diced
    • 3 parsnips diced
    • 3 medium onions diced
    • 2 medium red or yukon gold potatoes, peeled if you like, and diced
    • (optional – 3 leeks, white part only sliced)
    • 2 cloves garlic minced or pressed
    • 1/4 t black pepper, freshly ground
    • 1/4 t mace
    • 2 t poultry seasoning
    • 1 1/2 lbs skinless boneless chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
    • (optional – 1/2 cups frozen peas)
    • (optional – 1/2 cup frozen corn)

    Instructions

    1. Add all ingredients except for chicken to a stock pot
    2. Simmer for 25 minutes
    3. Add chicken pieces simmer for 15 minutes
    4. (optional – add peas and/or corn and stir for 2 more minutes)

    Variations

    Substitute 2 oz of egg noodles can be substituted for the potatoes if you like. I stick with potatoes if I am going to use this for chicken and dumplings.

    A good recipe for poultry seasoning is 1/4 t ground sage, 1/4 t ground thyme, 1/4 t ground marjoram, 1/4 t ground rosemary
