Simple Chicken Soup Recipe?



Recommended Posts

Hi!

Does anyone have a very simple chicken Soup recipe?

I am not the kind of cook who can just put together something delicious! I can bake, but not cook.

I'm looking for a clear broth (probably store bought organic) and will bits of chicken, carrot, and celery. Would onion be something to add?

I don't want a slick of fat on top.

I've had exactly what I want and am trying to recreate it without a recipe.

Does anyone know a trick or process that will produce this kind of soup? I feel like an idiot because it almost seems like people are born knowing how to make chicken soup! :) But I wasnt! I need step by step instruction.

I really want a very simple but satisfying clear soup with a few ingredients and no noodles or rice. And not from a can, though I do plan to use organic broth from a box.

Thank you for any help you can be.

I hope everyone is enjoying the day! Yay for Fall! Soup weather!

I don't know if this is what you are looking for but I hope this helps http://www.food.com/recipe/chicken-vegetable-soup-low-carb-low-fat-180132 I just didn't add the green Beans and add onions. If you want to thicken it up a little I use corn starch about 2 tablespoons. Good luck to you.

I can cook but not bake so we'd be a good team. Sauté onions and garlic, celery if you like, carrots, mushrooms -- it's a free for all! I use a little high - heat oil like a safflower or canola, but olive oil is fine. This is a good time to put any herbs or spices as the veggies will carry the flavor. Salt and pepper, also rosemary is delicious. Some people like tarragon. I use Indian spices sometimes but of course that takes it all in a different direction. Now you can add the chicken -- pulled chicken from one you've roasted works really well, cutting up any of the white meat into small pieces. Then add the broth. Simmer to let it all come together. Enjoy!

Hi Bandista!

Thank you for the recipe and instructions! Chicken Soup sounds pretty easy to make. I was thinking of getting an already cooked chicken (because Im not real good at cooking it)...but how would boiled chicken do in chicken soup? And if thats ok, how long do I boil it? I'll use white meat.

Gosh!

have to run...dr. apppt!

Thanks again!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
