(Chicken Soup My Way)
Clear off your counters
Fix a pot of Tea (my favorite is Green tea loose leaf, I am worth it and sugar in the raw)
Music on (Today I listened to :The sound track from "fig fish")I like sound tracks from my favorite movies because it keeps my mind imagining and not "stinkin thinkin"
Get your fixings out. Set out your food processor and or knife and cutting board.
this is what I did today........ Large batch.
Wash up as you go.
Bay leaf, Basil, thyme and Sea Salt
4 cans 12.5 oz chicken breasts (open and set aside, do not drain)
3- 32 oz chicken broth (I use Pacific brand it is a organic free range no MSG product)
Parsnips raw 2-3 lbs. (they look like a white carrot)
4 lbs mini carrots (Costco has them cheaper and organic)
Celery on whole stalk (Choose a stalk with little to no leaves: do not separate: Cut first, Discard first cut the dried ends,: Now on the horizon parallel to you, toward the end of stalk hold vertical and cut down all but through several times lay horizontal again slice until and inch or so before the but of the stalk NOW WASH, and run your hands through to separated and remove strings.
one yellow onion (diced, cut in half, lay a half flat slice parallel to you thinly, now slice vertically to you)
Garlic cloves 1/4 cup twice a year I buy a braid of garlic at Costco and i remove all the hulls an stuff a canning jar full then I fill the jar with olive oil. It keeps in the refer and is easily available to me when I need it. Now you too can buy it already done but you ll pay big bucks for it or have mediocre oil in it.
Flour 1cup I use spelt my family is not to well of with wheat, I buy the spelt ground or I buy the whole grain and grind it myself. My mother in law gave me the old family electric grist mill.
4 cups apx. Egg noodles fine looks like straw
Butter 1/4 lb.
Pour a cup of tea
Use food processor chop all root veggies except garlic and onion. Set aside
Chop onion and press garlic onto your chopped onions. Set aside
Open all cans and broth cryo packs. Set aside.
Heat pan first
then: Melt butter them remove the whey with a spoon tilting the pot helps.
Add onion and garlic till translucent.
add in root veggies and cover and"sweat them out" see the moisture accumulate at the bottom of the pot. That is liquid gold.
When tender add the flour sprinkle it on a little at a time to cover coat the veggies.
This all happens quickly as it gets gummy you add the broth and the chicken with its broth. Break up the chicken.
Stir and cook
Sea Salt now about a table spoon Iodine is good stuff!
Seasoning of herbs is added now
boil add
noodles and cook about 30 min.
Watch your pot I burned mine doing this blog ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
