Steps:

• Season chicken legs generously with salt and pepper. Pour olive oil into a Dutch oven or similar pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken legs and brown well, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. Add diced yellow onion and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and softened, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, celery, bay leaf and clove and return chicken to pot.
• Add 10 cups water and 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until chicken is tender, but not falling off the bone, about 1 hour. Turn off heat and skim fat from surface of broth. (May be prepared up to this point several hours ahead, or up to a day in advance, and refrigerated.)
• While chicken is cooking, prepare the green garlic shoots: peel tough outer layers and roots, then rinse well. Split shoots lengthwise and chop both white and tender green parts. Set aside.
• Make the tomatillo salsa: drain diced white onion and transfer to a small bowl. Add tomatillo, jalapeño, lime juice and a little salt and stir together.
• Just before serving, reheat soup, add chopped green garlic to pot and simmer 5 minutes. To serve, put one chicken leg in each bowl (alternatively, remove meat from bone and shred) and ladle soup over it. Pass tomatillo salsa and lime wedges at the table.

SLIGHTLY SPICY CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• In a very large (7-8 qt) stock pot add water and bouillon cubes and bring to a boil.
• While water is coming to temperature, add onions and chicken to a hot frying pan with the olive oil, cooking until chicken is no longer pink on the outside and onions are translucent.
• When water comes to a rapid boil, reduce heat and add all ingredients including the cooked chicken and onions. Stir ingredients thoroughly.
• When all ingredients have been added to pot, cover and simmer on medium-low for 45-50 minutes or until potatoes are tender enough to be cut with a spoon.
• This recipe can easily translate to a crockpot also. Add the noodles in the last hour if cooking on low, or the last 1/2 hour if cooking on high.
