Chicken Soup
Ingredients:
2 packs giblets
4 chicken carcasses
4 stalks celery, chopped
3-4 organic carrots
1 onion
Little bit of sunflower oil
Method:
-
Peel the onion & put in a large deep saucepan with a tiny bit of oil. Add all the giblets & carcasses and fry for a few minutes.
-
Meanwhile, peel & chop the carrots. Chop the celery including the leaves.
-
Add the vegetables to the pot & fry on a low heat until you start to smell the vegetables cooking.
-
Fill the pot nearly to the top with tap water & bring to the boil.
-
When it starts to boil you will see a scum forming. Skim this off with a spoon and keep doing this until it stops forming.
-
Turn the soup down to a low boil & leave it for a few hours. top it up with water and make sure the bits are all submerged.
-
Once cool, turn off the heat & cover with a lid & leave to cool completely.
-
Once cool, take out the carcasses but leave the giblets if you like. I do!
-
Then put the soup in the fridge overnight or leave on the hob if not hot out.
-
In the morning take off the layer of fat.
-
Bring back to the boil & serve (optional) with kneidlach matzo balls) & lokshen (very fine noodles).
