Classic Chicken Soup
The classic Kosher food and healer of all things, Chicken Soup nourishes body and soul. Everyone agrees it's not a Jewish holiday meal, or a Jewish cookbook, without chicken soup!...
Method
- Rinse chicken and place in a 6-quart soup pot.
- Add water and bring to a boil over high heat. Skim any foam, residue or fat that rises to the surface using a large spoon or skimmer and discard.
- Once boiling runs clear, reduce heat to a simmer and add carrot, parsnip, onion, turnip, celery and salt. Add stock cube, if desired.
- Simmer, covered, for 1 hour and 30 minutes. During the last 15 minutes of cooking add the bouquet garni and then remove before serving.
- Remove chicken meat from the bones and place a few pieces into each bowl. Ladle soup and vegetables over chicken.
- Mince dill or parsley and sprinkle on immediately before serving, if desired. Or cool the soup and refrigerate overnight.
