Grammy Lindas Chicken Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the broth to a simmer in the large stock pot. While you wait for the broth and water to heat up, separate the rotisserie chicken meat from the skin and bones, setting the meat aside for later. Add the skin (optional) and bones to the broth, bring it back up to a simmer and allow it to simmer for about an hour.
• Strain broth through a colander into a large container; reserve broth and discard skin and bones. Return kettle to burner set on medium-high.
• Add oil, then onions, carrots and celery and seasonings. Sauté until soft, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add chicken, broth and sauce. Bring to a simmer. (Can be refrigerated up to 3 days in advance. Return to a simmer before adding the extras of your choice.) If you refrigerate it, any grease will congeal on the top and you can remove it. But, leave a little...adds flavor!
• Add the broth and bring the mixture back up to a simmer.
• Add your favorite noodles, simmering until they reach the desired tenderness.
• Chop the chicken and add it to the cooking noodles.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Place the chicken, celery, carrots, onions, parsnip (if using), parsley, peppercorns, bay leaves and salt in a large soup pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to very low. Adjust the heat until the soup is "smiling": barely moving on the surface, with an occasional bubble breaking through. Cook uncovered, until the chicken is very tender and falling off the bone, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• When cool enough to handle, use tongs to transfer chicken from the pot to a container. Taste the broth and continue to simmer it until it is concentrated and tasty. Strain broth through a fine sieve (or a colander lined with cheesecloth) into a separate container. Discard all the solids from the strainer (or reserve the vegetables, chill and serve with vinaigrette, if you wish).
• Refrigerate chicken pieces and broth separately for at least 8 hours (or up to 3 days), until a thick layer of yellow fat has risen to the top of the broth.
• When ready to finish the soup, use your fingers to separate chicken breast meat from bones and skin. Discard bones and skin. Use two forks to pull the breast meat apart into soft chunks, or use a knife and cut into bite-size pieces. (Reserve dark meat for another use.)
• Skim chicken fat from top of broth and set aside. Place 3 tablespoons of the fat in a soup pot with a lid. Add leeks, stir to coat, and heat over medium heat until leeks begin to fry. Then reduce the heat to a gentle sizzle and cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add carrots, sprinkle with salt, stir, and cover the pot. Cook until vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes more. (Keep in mind that vegetables will continue to cook in the soup.) Do not brown.
• Pour broth into pot with vegetables and heat to a simmer. Add noodles and simmer until heated through, soft and plumped with chicken broth. Add the breast meat, then taste broth and add salt and pepper to taste. For best flavor, soup should have some golden droplets of fat on top; if needed, add more chicken fat one teaspoon at a time.
• Serve immediately, in a tureen or from the pot, sprinkling each serving with herbs.

Steps:

• Place the chicken, water, bouillon, peppercorns and cloves in a stockpot. Cover and bring to a boil; skim foam. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 45-60 minutes or until chicken is tender. Strain broth; return to stockpot. , Remove chicken and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove meat from bones; discard bones and skin and cut chicken into chunks. Cool broth and skim off fat. , Return chicken to stockpot with soups, vegetables and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour. Uncover; increase heat to a gentle boil. Discard bay leaf., For dumplings, combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir in egg, butter and enough milk to make a moist stiff batter. Drop by teaspoonfuls into soup. Cover and cook without lifting the lid for 18-20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large, heavy stock pot. Saute chicken until it is browned on the outside and the pan picks up some of the color.
• Meanwhile, chop half the celery, one onion and slice half the carrots.
• Remove the chicken from the pot, and saute chopped vegetables and garlic cloves, until they start to soften.
• Remove them to a bowl.
• Place whole carrots, celery stalks (including leaves) and quarter the onion and toss that in along with the parsnip.
• Return chicken to stock pot and cover the chicken with water. Bring to a boil, then immediately turn down to "Simmer".
• When chicken is finished cooking (twists easily away from bone when prodded with a fork) remove it to a cutting board.
• Allow it to cool. Then chop it in small pieces.
• Meanwhile fish out the large vegetable pieces and discard. Add chicken stock paste and seasonings. Return the cut up vegetables back to the soup. When cooled, add chicken cubes. Bring to a simmer and add 1/2 bag egg noodles and simmer about 10 minutes until the noodles are cooked.

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add the chicken, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until starting to crumble, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, coriander and celery seeds (if using), and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the chicken into a small lidded bowl (to retain moisture); cover and set aside.
• Add the carrot, celery, shallot, thyme and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until slicked with fat, 3 minutes. Add the stock (7 cups for a stew-like soup or up to 8 cups for a brothy soup) and bring to a boil over high.
• Add noodles and cook over medium-high until al dente according to package directions. (If the noodles absorb a lot of liquid, add more broth according to taste.) Add the reserved chicken and any accumulated juices and heat until warmed, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls; top with a spoonful of crème fraîche, a fistful of torn herbs and lemon zest.

Steps:

• Clean chicken and remove some, but not all, fat. Place in a 2-quart soup pot with carrots, celery, tomatoes, and onion. Tie all dill sprigs into a bunch with kitchen string; add to the pot with salt and pepper. Add water until chicken is covered by 2 inches.
• Cook over medium-low heat until chicken is just about cooked through, about 3 hours. Remove chicken to a platter and allow to cool slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Cut meat off the bones, place meat back into the pot, and discard the bones. Cook over medium-low heat until heated through, about 30 minutes longer. Remove dill before serving.

Steps:

• Cook chicken until done. Remove skin and bones and cut chicken into small chunks.
• In a large pot, saute onion and garlic in olive oil. Add chicken chunks, cumin, and lime juice and mix well over medium heat. Add tomatilla salsa, chicken broth, and water, and stir well. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes.
• Cut corn tortillas into strips, place on baking sheet, spray with cooking spray. Bake in 400 degree oven about 10-15 minutes or until crispy.
• To serve, place some crispy tortilla strips in a bowl, top with some shredded pepper-jack cheese, and top with hot soup.

Steps:

• In a large pot, empty both cans of soup. Fill one of the cans with water and empty into the pot. Stir well, put a lid on and simmer on low/medium heat.
• In a regular sized frying pan over medium/high heat , heat up the 1 cup of vegetable oil. Place about half of the chicken thighs in the heated oil and brown on both sides. (You don't have to cook the chicken all the way, just brown on both sides because the chicken will cook the rest of the way in the soup) Place browned chicken in the soup mixture. Repeat until all the chicken is browned.
• Cook the chicken in the soup pot for 1 1/2 hours on low heat with the lid on stirring every 20 minutes.
• After 1 1/2 hours, add Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.
