SIMPLE CHICKEN SOUP
This comfort food classic is just as flavorful and soul-satisfying as Grandma's chicken soup, but where hers took several hours-or a day-to make, ours takes under an hour. Instead of long-simmered stock, we start with store-bought chicken broth and water but enrich them with stock vegetables and the carcass, bones and meat of a leftover roast chicken.

Steps:
- Put the bones and carcass from a leftover chicken (they can be in pieces) in a large pot. Cover with the broth and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Skim any foam or fat from the broth with a ladle as necessary.
- Remove the bones and carcass with tongs or a slotted spoon; set aside to cool. Add the carrots, celery, onion and bay leaf to the broth, bring back to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are about half cooked (they will still have resistance when tested with a knife but be somewhat pliable when bent), about 10 minutes. Stir in the rice (to keep it from sticking to the bottom), and cook until the grains are just al dente, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, when the carcass and bones are cool enough to handle, pick off the meat, and shred it into bite-size pieces.
- When the rice is done, add the meat to the broth and simmer until warmed through, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste. Serve hot.

Steps:
- In a saucepan over high heat, bring the broth to a boil.
- Add the chicken, carrots, peas and scallions.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- Season with salt and pepper, if desired (there should be enough flavor in the broth).
- Serve, or freeze for later.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and nutrients. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Salt and pepper are always a good starting point, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste. Some popular options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
- Cook the soup until the chicken is cooked through. This will usually take about 10-15 minutes. You can check to see if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
- Serve the soup hot. This is the best way to enjoy it. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, or a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Chicken soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
