Jeanette's Awesome Chicken Soup
- 12 of a whole chicken
- water, to cover chcken (or enough to make it float)
- 12 onion
- 2 celery ribs
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon dried porccini mushroom
- 12 teaspoon dried parsley
- 12 teaspoon thyme
- 12 teaspoon rubbed sage
- 1 -2 sprig fresh rosemary (on stem)
- 12 cup marsala
- 3 -4 carrots
- 3 -4 potatoes
- 2 small zucchini
- salt
- Prepare Chicken: Remove giblets, rince and put in pot, with enough water to cover it.
- I usually put in enough water to make it float a little- too much water makes a less flavorfull broth!
- Boil chicken.
- While chicken is boiling, chop the onion and celary.
- I chop it fine so that my kids have a harder time picking it out, but you can make it as big as you want.
- In a seperate pot, fry the onions and celary until cooked through- the onions will become translucent.
- Chop mushroom.
- Add mushrooms, marsala, parsley, sage, thyme and sprigs of rosemary.
- LEAVE THE ROSEMARY ON THE STEM!
- I have found that while rosemary adds a nice flavor, it doesn't really soften up, if you leave it on the stem you can take it out easier when you are ready to serve.
- Cook the marsala-mixture for a few minutes until it begins to thicken.
- BE CAREFUL, once it cooks down it burns easy.
- Remove this mixture from heat.
- Peel the carrots, zucchini and potatoes, if you like (I do not) and chop them.
- When the chicken is finished cooking through, remove it from the broth and allow it to cool until you can shred it and add it to the marsala mixture.
- Keep the broth.
- Take a few cups of the broth from the boiled chicken and add it to the marsala mixture.
- Add carrots and bring to a boil.
- A minute or so after this mixture begins to boil, add the potatoes, then zucchini.
- Allow veggies to cook through and remove soup from heat.
- Serve with a good crustie bread.
