My Favorite Homemade Chicken Soup

posted in: Cooking | 0
home canned broth

Yeah I know there are cheaper versions but this is the one I like. 

 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into approximately one inch chunks
onion
carrots
celery
bullion cubes
Seasoning salt
salt and pepper

I use an electric skillet to first cook up the chicken.  You can cook it up in a little chicken broth or oil.  As soon as it turns white I add the onion, seasoning salt and more liquid, water or broth, your choice.  When the onion become tender, I throw the whole mess into a stock pot and add approximately two gallons of water.   Go ahead and start simmering.  I add bullion to get the nice golden color and rich flavor.  I add as many carrots and as much celery as I can afford.  Usually that’s a lot of carrots and not much celery.   Sometimes I add some fresh garlic.  Cook until veggies are tender.  To make stew simply add potatoes and thicken the broth with chicken gravy packets and/or corn starch. Plus add a handful of frozen peas. 
If you want Chicken Noodle soup add your dry noodles or even some plain leftover pasta that might be sitting in the fridge. 

always, Vickie
