GOOD OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN SOUP/STEW



Good Old Fashioned Chicken Soup/Stew image

There isn't anything more comforting on a snowy winter day than a bowl of homemade chicken soup. Don't let the list of ingredients turn you away. This is an extremely easy and flavourful soup to make. The soup is thicker the second day because of the added noodles. This also freezes extremely well.

Categories     Chicken

Time 3h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 onion, quartered
2 celery ribs
2 carrots
4 garlic cloves
1 bay leaf
2 lbs skinless chicken pieces, skin and visible fat removed
10 -12 cups cold water
10 cups chicken broth
2 potatoes, quartered and sliced
2 carrots, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups chicken, that you've pulled from the bones
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon, liquid Bovril
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 1/2 cups thin egg noodles

Steps:

  • In a large dutch oven or stock pot, add onion, celery, carrots, garlic and bay leaf. Place chicken on top, and add water. (If your pot will only hold 10 cups of water at first, the remaining water can be added later, as some of it will evaporate.) Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken to a plate to cool. Strain the broth, and discard the vegetables.
  • At this point, the broth may be cooled and frozen for later use, or you may continue on with the recipe. This is an excellent time to remove any remaining fat from the broth.
  • Remove the meat from the bones, cut and set aside.
  • Return the broth to a clean pot. Bring to a boil and add the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 1/2 hour.
  • Add the chicken, bouillon, frozen vegetables, and noodles. Simmer for 20 minutes.

AUTUMN CHICKEN STEW



Autumn Chicken Stew image

I adapted this recipe from one that appeared in BBC Good Food magazine and loved the rich, earthy flavours it produced. The original inspiration for this dish apparently comes from Tunisia and it certainly reminded me of some African stews I have had. The changes I made were to use butternut squash instead of pumpkin, fresh ginger instead of ground and two cans of tomatoes instead of one. I also used my chili olive oil, which is stored in a jar with hot chillis to give it some bite, but if you don't have any spicy oils to use, you could add in a bit of chili powder, cayenne pepper or some harissa. This is a very adaptable recipe so have fun playing with it.

Categories     Stew

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

500 g pumpkin or 500 g butternut squash
4 tablespoons chilli-flavoured olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 inches fresh ginger, freshly grated or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 (400 g) cans chopped tomatoes
2 -4 teaspoons brown sugar
1 (400 g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
1 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed well with (optional)
4 tablespoons water (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel the pumpkin or squash.
  • Remove the seeds and any fibrous bits and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, heat the oil and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the cinnamon and, if using the ground ginger, stir that in too.
  • If you are using fresh, it will be added later.
  • Cook for a couple more minutes and then add in the chicken.
  • Fry until the chicken is browned slightly on all sides.
  • Add the tomatoes and sugar.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper if you like, although I don't feel the dish needs any, and then add the chickpeas and pumpkin.
  • Make sure the dish is evenly mixed and then cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender.
  • If you are using fresh ginger, add it in about half way through this process.
  • Once the pumpkin is cooked, depending on how runny you like your stew, you may want to thicken it up with a bit of cornstarch and water.
  • Just mix the two together and stir in the stew and leave for a couple minutes to thicken.
  • Stir in the chopped coriander just before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup or stew a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and turnips.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A few well-chosen herbs and spices can really elevate the flavor of your soup or stew. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, basil, garlic, and pepper.
  • Cook your soup or stew low and slow. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. Aim for a simmer, not a boil.
  • Use a good quality stock. The stock is the foundation of your soup or stew, so it's important to use a good one. If you can, make your own stock using bones, vegetables, and herbs. If you don't have time to make your own stock, you can use a store-bought stock. Just be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Don't overcook your vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. If you're not sure how long to cook your vegetables, start with a shorter time and then add more time as needed.

Conclusion:

Soups and stews are a great way to warm up on a cold day. They're also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and meat. With a little planning, you can make a delicious and hearty soup or stew that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give one of these recipes a try.
