{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Hearty Chicken Vegetable Soup Recip

 

Hearty Chicken Vegetable Soup Recipe



I experimented with various combinations, and this is the recipe I came up with. It's especially good to take to potlucks or share with friends. I often take a bowl to work to heat up for a fast lunch.



      TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + cooling
      Cook: 2 hours 5 min.
      YIELD: 16


Ingredients

        1 roasting chicken (about 5 pounds), cut up and skin removed
        2 celery ribs, sliced
        1 large onion, chopped
         2-1/2 quarts water
         1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes
        4 medium carrots, sliced
        2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
         1 medium turnip, peeled and cubed
         2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
         1/2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
         3/4 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano and tarragon
         3/4 teaspoon salt
         3/4 teaspoon pepper
         1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
         2 cups fresh broccoli florets
         2 cups frozen peas, optional

Directions

    Place the chicken, celery, onion and water in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Skim fat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken; cool.
    Remove meat from bones and cut into bite-size pieces; return to pan. Add the tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, turnip, bouillon and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add broccoli and peas if desired; simmer 15-20 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Yield: 16 servings (about 4 quarts).
