HOMEMADE SOUP RECIPES WITH CHICKEN

Easy, Homemade Soup Recipes: Easy Chicken Soup(6)

Cut up any vegetables of your choice such as leeks, onions, celery, carrots, courgettes and any left over cooked vegetables you may have in your fridge. I usually use the vegetables from the previous night's roast chicken dinner.

Lightly fry all the vegetables in a little butter for a minute or two. Place in a large pot. Add the chicken carcass from the previous night's roast. Fill up the pot to the top of the carcass. Add a little more water if you wish. Add 3 chicken stock cubes, chunks of pumpkin and a grated potato.

In my opinion, which was also stated by my great-grandmother, you cannot make a good pot of chicken soup without the pumpkin. And she's right!

Boil gently for an hour and a half. Serve with crusty bread.

Simmer 4 cups of chicken stock, 1/2 cups chopped celery and 1 cup cooked shredded chicken.

When the celery is tender, add and cook for 5 minutes 1/2 cup of cooked long-grain rice.

Take off the heat. Liquidize.

Add 1/2 cup hot cream, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.

Season to taste. Thin out with more hot cream if necessary and serve.

Peel and slice 2 medium potatoes

Skin and chop 2 medium onions, and 4 ribs of celery

Add boiling water to cover and add 1/2 teaspoon salt

Boil the vegetables until the potatoes are tender and liquidize

Thin soup out with hot milk or hot chicken stock, or a mixture of both.

Season to taste

Serve with chopped parsley
