Fall is officially just days away, but here in Las Vegas, the outside temperatures are still hovering around 100 degrees. That makes it hard to think about cool weather foods, like soup. But not everyone needs a chill in the air to have soup for their meal. Well,enjoy it now, or enjoy it
Homemade Chicken Stock
1 1/2 lbs Chicken Parts~Cooked
1/4 of a large Onion
2 medium Carrots
2 stalks Celery
2teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Dried Chives
Heavy pinch of Dried Thyme
Several Springs of Fresh Parsley
8 cups Water
Pinch of Salt
I used 2 leftover wings and 2
leftover thighs for my
chicken parts. They were cooked when
we cooked the
baked chicken last week. Put
chicken in pot.
Rough chop the celery and the
carrots, and throw in the pot.
There is no need to peel the carrots.
A rough chop is when
you don't need to worry about what
the chopped item
looks like. It is not necessary to
have a consistent size.
Quarter a large onion. You can leave
the skin on.
Throw it in the pot.
Add the parsley, thyme, salt, chives,
garlic powder,
pepper and water.
Put on the stove and heat to boiling.
Once pot begins to boil, turn heat
down
to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove the chicken from
the pot.
Take the pieces out and remove the
meat from the bones.
Put the bones back in the pot and
simmer for 2 more hours.
Let the chicken that you pulled off
the bone, sit to the side.
After the 2 hours, take the pot off
the stove.
Dump everything into a strainer
sitting on top of a
large bowl.
Press on the vegetables and
everything else left in the
strainer. The liquid should in to the
bowl
through the strainer.
Here is your liquid that is in the
bowl. It needs to be
cleaned up a little.
Clean it up by running the liquid
through cheesecloth
into another bowl. Discard cheesecloth.
Chicken Noodle Soup
Homemade Chicken Stock
Chicken
Fettuccine Noodles
Corn Niblets
1 cup chopped Onion
Add the chicken you took off of the
bones to the
cleaned up bowl of liquid.
Fill up a pot with water. Bring it to
a boil. Add
noodles and cook until al dente,
about 12 minutes.
Chop up onion by slicing the onion
and
then chopping the slices.
1 cup of onion
Drain noodles into strainer.
1/2 cup of corn.
Put corn, onion and noodles into pot
of stock and chicken.
Heat until hot to taste.
Oh, so, good!
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I love your concept - and the step-by-step photos are great! I know how much patience and dedication those must take because I'm always too lazy/harried while cooking to do them myself! ;)
