Cure My Cold Chicken Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the chicken, halved onion, garlic, bay leaf and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
• While the chicken is cooking, in a soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots and celery; add the sugar and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pot and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth and 2 cups water to the pot and bring to a boil. Shred the poached chicken into pieces and add to the soup. Stir in the egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the scallions, parsley, dill and lemon peel. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a soup pot place the chicken and cover with cold water about two inches from the top of the chicken.
• Bring to a simmer-- skim the white foam off of the top-- this will take about 10 minutes.
• When the foam stops coming to the top-- add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, poultry seasoning, salt peppercorns and ground pepper and bay leaves.
• Simmer for about 45 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients and simmer another 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
• Taste soup and adjust seasonings to your taste.
• Remove the chicken pieces to a platter and let cool enough to handle--take the meat off the bones and put the chicken meat back into the soup pot.
• Enjoy and your cold will go away sooner.

Steps:

• In a 5 or 6 quart stock pot over moderate heat, melt the butter in the oil. Add the chicken and brown it lightly, stirring occasionally -- about 5 minutes.
• Add the stock, carrots, celery, onion, rice, parsley, salt and pepper. Cover, bring to a simmer over low heat, then cook until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large pot add chicken, breast side down, onion, thyme, bay leaf, and garlic. Add enough water to cover; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Skim any foam that rises to the top and discard.
• Remove chicken from pot, and let stand until cool enough to handle. Skim fat from surface of soup, if desired, and discard. Remove meat from bones; discard skin and bones. Shred meat into bite-size pieces, and return to pot.
• Add celery, carrots, potato, egg noodles and parsley. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Squeeze fresh limejuice into soup and stir. Can also squeeze into individual bowls before serving.
