GRANNY'S HOMEMADE SOUP



Granny's Homemade Soup image

My Granny sure was a "Good Cooker"! We all loved her food especially certain things like her soup. We all try to make ours taste "just like Grannys". When we make it we are sure to call everyone and brag. I normally boil a whole chicken and use most of it for the soup and a little for something else. Granny never drained the cans of veggies, but I never lose as much water as she did, maybe because I put a cover on the boiling chicken.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 chicken breast halves, with skin and bones
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
1 piece celery (washed and sliced)
2 carrots (washed and sliced)
1 medium sized onion (diced)
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce (or 1 can tomato soup)
1 (15 ounce) can butter beans (drained)
1 (15 ounce) can whole corn (drained)
3 -4 potatoes (peeled and cut in small blocks)

Steps:

  • Wash chicken.
  • Put in large pot and cover above chicken with hot water about 1 inch.
  • Open tomatoes and drain juice into pot.
  • Crush tomatoes with hands and add to pot.
  • Wash celery and carrots, then slice and add to pot.
  • Bring to a boil and then cover and lower temp to a low boil and cook 1 hour.
  • Watch to make sure liquid doesn't boil out. If it gets low add a little more water.
  • Remove chicken, set aside and let cool.
  • Add potatoes and cook 30 more minutes.
  • After potatoes are done, take 3 or 4 chunks and smash them on the side of the pan. This will help to thicken the soup.
  • Add onion, tomato SOUP (or sauce), corn and butter beans and cook about 10 minutes.
  • Pull the chicken off the bone and add to pot.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste now or in your own bowl. I personally think salt is a must in this soup.
  • Stir and serve.
  • Delicious!

GRANDPA'S GARDEN CHICKEN SOUP



Grandpa's Garden Chicken Soup image

Grandpa sends me veggies from his huge garden every year and I use 'em for this soup, which has been called 'the best soup I've ever eaten' by friends. It's pretty unstructured and can change to meet your personal tastes. It's basically a chicken veggie soup; it's the FRESH veggies that make it the best. I just throw stuff in until it looks and tastes the way I want it to. It's also GREAT if you're sick; I swear it'll cure what ails ya! YUM! The longer you SLOWLY cook the soup, the more flavorful it becomes. I often eat a bowl while it's simmering 'cause I can't wait.

1 whole chicken, quartered
water, to cover
½ large onion, chopped
1 stalk celery with leaves, cut into chunks
3 cubes chicken bouillon
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Prep Vegetables Evenly: Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Sauté Vegetables First: Sautéing vegetables before adding liquid enhances their flavor and prevents them from becoming bland.
  • Use Good Quality Broth: Choose a flavorful broth that complements the vegetables in the soup. Homemade broth is always best, but a good quality store-bought broth will also work.
  • Season Well: Don't be afraid to season the soup generously. Taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Add Herbs and Spices: Fresh or dried herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to the soup. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
  • Let the Soup Simmer: Simmering the soup for a longer period allows the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Serve with Toppings: A variety of toppings can add extra flavor and texture to the soup. Some popular options include croutons, crackers, cheese, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Granny's Garden Soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up fresh vegetables from your garden or local farmers market. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a hearty and flavorful soup that the whole family will love.
