What's a great chicken soup recipe you recommend?

We just had a large chicken dinner the other night and we have a lot of leftover chicken, so I wanted a great recipe to make form it. I prefer for there to be potatoes, carrots, and rice in it, along with the chicken. Any other ingredients would be fine, as I am going to the store in the morning.


Thanks. :-)What's a great chicken soup recipe you recommend?
I prefer the simple ingredients too.,


Since your chicken is already cooked you'lll have to come up with a broth either canned or with bullion cubes or both(I would use both) You'lll need about 6 or more cups depending on how much soup you want. . Which ever you choose proceed to


dice an yellow onion small pieces,


sliver a few carrots,


slice a leek,


cube a few small potatoes,


chop a bunch of green onion tops,


chop a 1/4 cup or less of celery very thin,


chop 1/4 cup of cilantro


and tear the chicken in pieces.


Add tablespoon of poultry seasoning or 2 sage leaves


sea salt or coarse salt


fresh ground pepper


Now make sure to add all the leftover chicken drippings(juice) to the pot as well. Add onions bring to a boil, potatoes, carrots, celery, leek, seasonings and chicken, then reduce to simmer. Taste to add salt/pepper etc. If using raw rice add about 1/2 now. Simmer about 30 minutes till rice is done. If you are using minute rice add it about 5 minutes before you turn it off and add the green onion tops and cilantro. Let the soup sit for about 30 minutes.





Here is a fancy smancy Thai soup


Sliced chicken breast,


several typse of mushroom like shitake, Oyster etc, your favorite


The basic ingredients for the soup base are:


lemongrass - sliced of bruised


coriander / cilantro root and stalks


tamarind paste or dried slices


lime leaves - torn


chicken or fish stock


Seasonings:


fish sauce


lime juice or white vinegar


palm sugar or white sugar


Thai chilli and shrimp paste (nam prik pow)


For garnish:


coriander / cilantro leaves


lime wedges


fresh chillies for extra spice. Or thin sliced bell peppers are fine.


1. Simmer the soup base ingredients


2. Adjust seasoning


3. Add mushrooms, vegies, seafood, meat.


4. Check seasoning.


5. Garnish and serve.


Tamarind paste makes the soup a bit thicker, but it is milder and not as sharp as the dried tamarind slices. Chili paste would be great too.


Lime leaves really give this the Thai edge. If you can't get lime or lemon zest, but it won't be the same.What's a great chicken soup recipe you recommend?
