HOMEMADE AUTHENTIC ITALIAN CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Wash the chicken, remove and wash the giblets and neck, if included, and place everything in a large pot (I used an 8qt pot). Fill about 3/4 full of water, add two teaspoons of salt, place over medium high heat, and bring to a boil.
• When scum starts to appear, remove it with a spoon, and discard. Lower the temperature, so that the soup is simmering gently.
• Let the soup simmer for an hour to an hour and a half, then remove from heat. Using a flat metal strainer, lift the chicken out of the pot and place on a plate. Remove the giblets and neck, if they are also in the soup. Strain the broth into another pot, taste for salt, adding more to taste (I can guarantee that it will need more salt at this point) then place half of the broth into a container to freeze for another time. Use the chicken to make chicken pot pie (recipe coming soon), chicken salad, or any way you like. You may also add some pieces of chicken to the soup.
• About 10 minutes before you want to serve the soup, cook the pastina in a separate pot until al dente (you can cook the pasta directly in the broth, but it will make the soup cloudy; if you don't mind it not being clear, and you don't want to wash another pot, just cook the pastina right in the broth.)
• When the pastina is ready, drain the water and add it to the simmering broth. Add the stracciatella, if using.
• Taste for salt again, and add some black pepper if desired, and serve.

FAMOUS HOMEMADE CHICKEN SOUP WITH MEATBALLS - ITALIAN STYLE

Steps:

• Rinse chicken and clean vegetables.
• Cut the tops off the carrots and remove onion skin but keep whole.
• Place chicken, vegetables, bullion, tomato sauce and enough water to cover in a large stock pot, covered, over high heat until it boils.
• Reduce heat and tilt lid to let soup simmer about 4 hours.
• Strain fat from top of broth.
• Carefully remove vegetables into a bowl to let cool.
• Carefully remove chicken, it's HOT! and let rest while you strain the broth through a metal strainer into a smaller pot.
• Mix all meatball ingredients together in a large bowl, being careful not to over-mix. In a large saucepan, add two or three generous ladles of chicken soup broth.
• Form small meatballs and cook in soup broth simmering until cooked, about 10 minutes. Add to strained broth.
• While meatballs are cooking, slice carrots and celery, and shred or slice chicken and add to strained broth.
• Now, I put some noodles into the bowl and add a ladle of soup on top and top it with grated cheese. (We're Italian. Cheese goes on everything.).
• I do not add the noodles to the soup directly because they tend to soak up all the broth , which make it difficult to eat as leftovers. This recipe makes enough for two nights for my family of 5. I freeze half for another time.
