CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI SOUP



Chicken and Zucchini Soup image

I looked in the fridge tonight and all I could find was a small bit of roast chicken and some veggies. I decided to give this method of making chicken stock a go - shared with me by the Home Ec. teacher I work with. It makes a wonderful stock and this was the resulting soup.

Provided by RonaNZ

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 28m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 chicken carcass
4 cups water
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons oil
1 medium onion
1 stalk celery
2 small carrots
1 garlic clove
2 cups pasta shells
2 zucchini
1 cooked chicken breast
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Take the chicken breast off the roast chicken and put the chicken bones, wings and any other bits in a large microwave dish with the water and thyme. Cover and cook on high for 10 minutes.
  • While that is cooking, start on the prep of the veg.
  • Finely chop the onion and fry in the oil. Add a little salt to help season the veg as they are cooking.
  • Cut the celery into strips lengthways and then chop into small cubes. Add to the onion.
  • Peel and cube the carrot to about the same size as the celery. Add to the pot.
  • Add crushed garlic.
  • By this time the stock should be finished - unless you are particularly fast at veg prep!
  • Strain the stock over the vegetables.
  • Add the pasta shells or whatever pasta you happen to have.
  • Slice the chicken breast and pick off any good bits of chicken from the drained bones. Add to the pot.
  • Simmer for as long as it takes to cook the pasta - 13 minutes for my pasta shells.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add more water if necessary. I needed to add a little more water after about 10 minutes.
  • Add the zucchini/courgette in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Slice the zucchini lengthways. Cut into triangular pieces. I find cutting the zucchini this way helps keep them in one piece in a soup where they may get overcooked when the soup is reheated.
  • Enjoy!
