My mother makes the best soups around and has become known to others as The Soup Lady . When my kids ask me to make Granny's soup, I'm happy to oblige. Ingredients:
1 broiler/fryer chicken (3-1/2 to 4 pounds), cut up |
8 cups water |
4 to 5 celery ribs with leaves, diced |
2 medium carrots, diced |
1 large onion, diced |
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons pickling spices |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt, optional |
4 chicken bouillon cubes |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup uncooked noodles |
Directions:
1. Place chicken and water in a large soup kettle. Cover and bring to a boil; skim fat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours or until chicken falls off bone.
2. Strain broth; return to kettle. Allow chicken to cool; debone and cut into chunks. Skim fat from broth. Return chicken to broth along with celery, carrots and onion.
3. Place pickling spices in a tea ball or cheesecloth bag; add to soup. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove spices; add salt if desired, bouillon, pepper and noodles. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until noodles are tender. Yield: 12 servings (about 3 quarts).
