A perfect post for a sick day turned snow day. I wasn't feeling very well this week at work & thought about taking today off. However, I got the wonderful call from school at about 8:15 last night so I could spend today resting. Luckily, I had stopped by my parents house yesterday where my mom handed off a big Tupperware container of her delicious chicken soup. She's been making this one since I was a kid & trust me whether it's a sick day or a snow day, this is GREAT!
Chicken Stock/Broth I like Swanson. I buy the big 32oz boxes
Chicken Breasts, bone in skin on, salt, pepper olive oil
Carrots, celery, leeks, garlic parsnips
More carrots, celery, canned diced tomatoes, small pasta, parsley and dill.
This is the easiest chicken soup to make. Its quick when all of a sudden someone’s sick. I always keep chicken stock/broth in the house along with split chicken breast, bone in, skin on.
Cook the chicken breast in the oven with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes. (when finished cooking, let cool and pick the meat from the bones)
While the chicken is cooking, put the purchased chicken broth in a big stock pot or pasta pot, add a head of garlic cut in half (not peeled) some celery, carrots, leeks, parsnips and parsley. Simmer it for the same amount of time that the chicken is cooking. Strain the broth, add freshly chopped carrots and celery, a can of petite diced tomatoes, some small pasta and the picked chicken. Let it boil and simmer until the pasta and veggies are cooked, add about a 1/4 cup of dill at the end.
Ladle into a bowl & ENJOY!
