Chicken Soup

Delicious chicken soup, ready for next week's lunches.

This week’s lunches will be Chicken Soup.  I’ll share my recipe with you.

This is intended as a guide, and your soup may have different values.

In a pot (over medium heat) put:

• ~500g of chicken thighs
• 3 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 5 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 1 large onion (or two small ones), diced
• 1 bouquet garni
• 1L of chicken stock or chicken broth

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 1h15m. Skim the foam and scum from time to time.  Turn off the heat, remove the chicken pieces and let them cool slightly.  Remove the skin, and cube or shred the chicken.  Re-add the meat to the soup and reheat.  If the liquid level has dropped a lot during the simmering or if the stock is too salty, feel free to add a bit more boiling water.  Stir in:

• parsley flakes
• Lucky Owl Spice Mix (my own special mix of ginger, turmeric, cardamom, cumin, red pepper, and coriander) (optional, to taste)
• sage (optional, to taste)

Throw it in a bowl, and fill ur face!  This made five 300mL servings.
