Potluck 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.
MAKES: 16 servings
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).
