Hearty Winter Soups Chicken Food

BEST-EVER HEARTY CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into a very large soup pot.
• Fill pot with water, almost to the top and bring to a boil.
• Skim off any scum once the soup boils.(Optional).
• Allow to boil for 1 hour, before tasting and adjusting seasoning, if necessary.
• Boil for an additional 30-45 minutes, before removing bones and setting them aside. You can strip the bones of the chicken at this time, or wait until later.
• Continue boiling the soup on a low simmer for anywhere between 45 minute- 3hours. A longer, slower boil will yield a very nice, rich flavor.
• Once the bones have cooled off, peel and pick all the chicken pieces off the bones and put the chicken into the pot of soup. Discard the bones.
• I sometimes make this soup and then transfer it into the crockpot to simmer on 'low' for up to 24 hours (we observe the Sabbath, so this ensures we get a hot soup for lunch). The slowly simmered broth is so rich and delicious.
