SIMPLE CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Put the bones and carcass from a leftover chicken (they can be in pieces) in a large pot. Cover with the broth and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Skim any foam or fat from the broth with a ladle as necessary.
• Remove the bones and carcass with tongs or a slotted spoon; set aside to cool. Add the carrots, celery, onion and bay leaf to the broth, bring back to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are about half cooked (they will still have resistance when tested with a knife but be somewhat pliable when bent), about 10 minutes. Stir in the rice (to keep it from sticking to the bottom), and cook until the grains are just al dente, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, when the carcass and bones are cool enough to handle, pick off the meat, and shred it into bite-size pieces.
• When the rice is done, add the meat to the broth and simmer until warmed through, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste. Serve hot.

CLASSIC CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil until shimmering over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cooking, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are very soft, about 15 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
• MAKE AHEAD: Do not add the noodles or parsley. Cool and refrigerate the soup in an airtight container for four days, or in the freezer for up to two months. Reheat on the stove and add the noodles and parsley just before serving.
• Add the noodles and cook 6 minutes, then add the chicken and cook about 2 minutes more, until the noodles are cooked through and the chicken is warmed through.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in the parsley.
• Serve topped with Parmesan.
• Enjoy!

NOT-CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Combine everything in a large pot.
• Bring to a boil, lower heat, and partially cover.
• Cook slowly for 1-2 hours.
• Turn off heat and let soup cool to room temperature.
• Strain out and discard all the vegetables.
• Heat gently just before serving.
• We cook matzoh balls separately and add them to the soup as we serve it.
• Matzoh balls cooked or reheated in the soup will turn a beautiful golden color thanks to the turmeric.

NO-CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Warm oil in a soup pot large enough to hold 10 cups over medium heat.
• Saute onion until golden brown.
• Add all other ingredients.
• Simmer over low heat until reduced by about 1/4. (For me that usually takes about 2 hours). If the soup reduces too quickly before the vegetables are cooked, add a little water and continue cooking.
• You may also put all the ingredients in a crock pot and cook the soup on low for about 6 hours and high for about 3 (very approximate times!).
• Correct the seasoning--add sassafras and/or fresh black pepper if you like.
• This soup is excellent served with cooked egg noodles or garlic-flavored bagel chips.
