Garlicky Chicken Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pan.
• Add fresh garlic, fresh ginger, and onion.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add Ginger paste, cayenne pepper, and salt & pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
• Add the chicken broth, water, chicken, and carrots.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes (feel free to cook on low for up to an hour).
• Add spinach and let cook for 5 minutes just before serving.
• Note: you can also add mushrooms, to add in more antioxidants. Simply add to the soup at the same time you add the carrots.

Steps:

• Season chicken legs generously with salt and pepper. Pour olive oil into a Dutch oven or similar pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken legs and brown well, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. Add diced yellow onion and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and softened, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, celery, bay leaf and clove and return chicken to pot.
• Add 10 cups water and 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until chicken is tender, but not falling off the bone, about 1 hour. Turn off heat and skim fat from surface of broth. (May be prepared up to this point several hours ahead, or up to a day in advance, and refrigerated.)
• While chicken is cooking, prepare the green garlic shoots: peel tough outer layers and roots, then rinse well. Split shoots lengthwise and chop both white and tender green parts. Set aside.
• Make the tomatillo salsa: drain diced white onion and transfer to a small bowl. Add tomatillo, jalapeño, lime juice and a little salt and stir together.
• Just before serving, reheat soup, add chopped green garlic to pot and simmer 5 minutes. To serve, put one chicken leg in each bowl (alternatively, remove meat from bone and shred) and ladle soup over it. Pass tomatillo salsa and lime wedges at the table.

Steps:

• Place garlic heads,upright,in a shallow 8 cup casserole, ovenproof, dish.
• Pour a 1/2 cup of chicken stock over the garlic.
• Bake in 350°F oven for 1 hour.
• Allow buds to cool, then squeeze the garlic puree from the skins.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet,stir in the dill.
• Add bread cubes and toss, cook until cubes are crisp (about 5 minutes), set aside.
• In a saucepan combine the 4 cups of chicken stock, chicken, garlic puree, wine, salt & pepper.
• Bring to a boil.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Pour hot soup into 4 oven proof soup bowls.
• Add croutons, sprinkle with the cheese.
• Broil for 3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over low heat.
• Add onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, thyme and sage and cook until onions softens and becomes translucent, about 8 minutes,,stirring occasionally.
• Add garlic and cook for 1 minute on medium-high heat.
• Add broth, white pepper, salt, and cauliflower florets; increase heat to high and bring to boil.
• Reduce heat to low; cover pot and simmer until carrots are softened, about 6 - 8 minutes.
• Add chicken cubes and bring soup back to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked through and there is no pink showing in the chicken.
• Adjust seasonings to taste.
• Remove bay leaves and discard.
• Serve soup hot.
• Refrigerate any unused portion.
• NOTE: If you like a spicy soup, add about 1 teaspoon of Mexican Chili Powder and some Cayenne Pepper.
• I also went very light on the amount of salt used, so the soup could be somewhat bland, add salt to your taste.

Steps:

• Make the chicken broth by simmering chicken, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper in enough water to cover.
• When the chicken is thoroughly cooked, remove it and skim the fat from broth.
• Simmer broth, reducing it until it is very rich.
• Add the flour and butter to a small amount of broth and mix with a wire whisk until velvety.
• Pour this mixture into the remaining broth.
• Tear chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the soup.
• Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put the garlic on a piece of foil, brush it with 1 tablespoon of the oil, enclose it in the foil and bake for about 30 minutes, until it is just tender. Unwrap it and let it cool.
• Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil in a pot. Coarsely chop the rabe and add it to the water; when the water returns to a rolling boil, remove the rabe with a slotted spoon. Set the rabe aside and add the pasta to the water. Boil until tender, about 8 minutes; drain and set aside.
• When the garlic is cool enough to handle, peel and chop it.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a heavy 3-quart saucepan. Add the garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring, about 2 minutes, until the garlic begins to coat the bottom of the pan. Pour about 1/2 cup of the broth into the pan, bring to a simmer and stir to dissolve the garlic. Add the remaining broth and the hot pepper. Stir in the rabe and the pasta. Season with salt and serve with Parmesan cheese on the side.
