Soup?? Again?? Heck YEAH!! I don't know what's going on in your house, but everyone here is coughing, sniffling, sneezing and blowing noses... and while this is a common tale... it's time for MORE CHICKEN SOUP!!
When is chicken soup EVER a bad thing? First things first.... we took our roasted chicken carcass and boiled those bones in water with 2 teaspoons of salt and fresh ground pepper!
Let it rip for at least 30 minutes (though more is better).
Next, I strained the stock and put it back into the pan with some flavor!!!
Tonight's flavor is courtesy of the almighty onion (1 chopped), chopped celery (4-6 stalks), and chopped carrots (4 biggies, peeled). Add those veggies to the stock and let the veggies cook for at least 10-15 minutes (I let mine cook for 30 minutes).
Next step, add some protien... courtesy of these lovely garbanzo beans (high protein and super yummy)!!!
For starch, add about 1 cup of couscous!! It's like little pearly nuggets of pasta. No couscous? Add leftover pasta, spaghetti, tortellini, or not... your choice.
For greens (and vitamin C) I added my next favorite player, fresh spinach!!! Then add all the chicken you plucked off that carcass before boiling the bones and let it all simmer together for about 10 minutes!!!
And the BIG FINISH!!! Heartwarming, tasty, delicious chicken soup! So many ways to make this classic, tasty healing meal!!! Thank you bones, thank you veggies, and HELLO tasty chicken soup!!!!
