This is a recipe that was given to me by my grandmother. It is a very savory and tasty soup and I believe that all will like it. If you would like to add even more flavor, try using smoked chicken!!

  • Chicken Soup

    jmfoy19802002 - January 8, 2007 02:56:42 PM PST
    well, first of all when making a good soup its the stock that's really
    important. None of the chicken soup recipes tells one how to cook
    a good stock. You've got to put the chicken, (ham for other types of
    soup, et al) into a pot of water and simmer for several hours with
    seasonings before any other ingredients go into it.....remove the fat
    from the broth and proceed from there.

  • All In The Stock

    I agree with the lady who said that the stock is the most important thing. In order to have a really flavorful stock, the stock must be reduced. Put meat in pot, add some carrots, onions, and seasonings, cover with water and simmer until the meat is tender and can be removed from the bones. After the meat is cooked and removed from the pot, the broth should be strained through a piece of cheesecloth, and then simmered until the volume is reduced by about a third. (Discard the carrots and onions. They were added to flavor the broth, but will be too mushy to leave in the soup. You can add more at the end, if you like) Keep tasting and adjusting the seasonings as the broth reduces until the flavor is as intense as you would like it to be. Then add back as much of the de-boned meat as you want, add some veggies, and simmer until the veggies are tender. You will usually have more meat than you need for the amount of broth that you will have, but the extra meat can be used for sandwiches or chicken salad. If desired, add noodles or pasta and simmer until done.

  • Crock pot

    I usually use a crock pot to make my stock. Same thing put all the seasonings and carrots, celery and onion in the crock pot and let it simmer for hours. Debone the chicken later and it comes out great. Easy to do when you work during the day.

  • grandma didn

    I totally agree with the comments below. My chicken soup is made with a whole boiled chicken, simmered with onions, celery, and carrots. It takes some time to de-bone a chicken, but it is OH SO WORTH IT !
    Also after everything is done, I add those refrigerated egg noodles rather than the dried noodles. Add a dash of garlic salt or seasoned salt if desired. For extra flavor, add some canned broth (with no MSG in it) or a couple of chicken cubes. Some people like a dash of red pepper. You can eat this stuff for days. It is the best ever .....

  • Chicken Noodle Nah!

    vivasf - April 28, 2007 04:11:17 PM PST
    Okay y'all. Chicken noodle soup is simple. Chicken in the pot with water, add onions, celery and carrots, about 1 hour later, 1 hour after that pull out the chicken, debone and drop back in with chopped parsley dill, salt & noodles for the last 10 minutes. Now that's soup. This recipe is a version I wouldn't even try as I'm sure it would lack the flavor of a stock soup and the goodness that comes from boiling the chicken at a simmer. A good soup should take hours to make, though it should be simple. Nah...I'll pass on this one.
