How to Prepare Extraordinary Homemade Chicken Soup

How to make extraordinary chicken soup.

Instructions

1. Preparing homemade chicken soup is fairly simple however; I have a recipe that will taste anything but simple. The key to excellent chicken soup is all in the broth. I use no substitutes or canned anything.

2. You will need, 3-5 pieces of chicken basically you will need 3 medium chicken breasts and between 3-4 chicken wings. 2 Spanish onions diced, 3 large celery sticks finely diced, 4 bay leaves, 2-4 carrots finely diced, 2 cloves and 1 and 1 half coups of orzo or fine egg noodles. Weather you use the orzo or egg noodles to make your soup is a matter of personal choice.

3. First, take 3 chicken breasts (bone in) and 3-4 wings in a large stewing pot; add enough water to cover entire contents. Place stove on medium heat until water begins to boil. Allow chicken to continue to boil for about 1-2 hours at a reduce heat.

4. Next, add onion, celery, bay leaves, carrots, and cloves and allow continuing to simmer about another hour. After the final hour of simmering broth add the orzo or egg noodles. Turn off stove and cover soup with lid, allow sitting an additional 45 minutes prior to serving.

5. Total preparation time for soup is approximately 3-4 hours. Remember, it takes time to make something good. Enjoy!!
