Chicken soup has been a mainstay of our life. In fact, at many holiday dinners, the only thing that Josh Elman eats is the chicken soup! I think this is my mothers recipe, but who knows where I learned to cook. Again, making chicken soup is pretty flexible. I’ve made it with a whole chicken, and I’ve made it with bones after boning whole breasts of chicken. It always turns out pretty much the same.
One chicken
1 large onion
3-4 carrots
2-3 stalks of celery
Salt & pepper to taste
Put the chicken in a large pot. Add onions, carrots, and celery and a tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil, cover and let simmer for an hour or so. Remove the chicken & celery. Mast the carrots either with a food mill, in the food processor or with a fork, and return them to the chicken broth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
