We will now interrupt this recipe for an instructional video:

We now return to our regularly scheduled recipe now in progress:

………………so that’s why I decided to make Chicken Soup.

Equipment:

• Stock pot
• Strainer

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken
• Carrots
• Leeks
• Onions
• Celery
• Bay Leaf
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Wide egg noodles
• Croutons, for garnish

Procedure:

1. Place chicken in stock pot and pour 6-8 inches of water above the highest point of the chicken
2. Turn heat to high and once you are about to reach a boil reduce heat to a simmer
3. Simmer, do not boil for 4-6 hours……I let it sit overnight for about 10 total…..came out awesome
4. Be sure to skim the fat and impurities off the top off the water, this will insure a great tasting soup
5. About 2 hours before you are ready to take the chicken out of the pot add the rest of the ingredients with the exception of the noodles.
6. When you are ready to serve cook the noodles then pour soup over noodles and garnish with croutons.

Enjoy,

Eric
