Simple Chicken Soup Recipe?



Recommended Posts

Hi!

Does anyone have a very simple chicken Soup recipe?

I am not the kind of cook who can just put together something delicious! I can bake, but not cook.

I'm looking for a clear broth (probably store bought organic) and will bits of chicken, carrot, and celery. Would onion be something to add?

I don't want a slick of fat on top.

I've had exactly what I want and am trying to recreate it without a recipe.

Does anyone know a trick or process that will produce this kind of soup? I feel like an idiot because it almost seems like people are born knowing how to make chicken soup! :) But I wasnt! I need step by step instruction.

I really want a very simple but satisfying clear soup with a few ingredients and no noodles or rice. And not from a can, though I do plan to use organic broth from a box.

Thank you for any help you can be.

I hope everyone is enjoying the day! Yay for Fall! Soup weather!

I don't know if this is what you are looking for but I hope this helps http://www.food.com/recipe/chicken-vegetable-soup-low-carb-low-fat-180132 I just didn't add the green Beans and add onions. If you want to thicken it up a little I use corn starch about 2 tablespoons. Good luck to you.

I can cook but not bake so we'd be a good team. Sauté onions and garlic, celery if you like, carrots, mushrooms -- it's a free for all! I use a little high - heat oil like a safflower or canola, but olive oil is fine. This is a good time to put any herbs or spices as the veggies will carry the flavor. Salt and pepper, also rosemary is delicious. Some people like tarragon. I use Indian spices sometimes but of course that takes it all in a different direction. Now you can add the chicken -- pulled chicken from one you've roasted works really well, cutting up any of the white meat into small pieces. Then add the broth. Simmer to let it all come together. Enjoy!

Hi Bandista!

Thank you for the recipe and instructions! Chicken Soup sounds pretty easy to make. I was thinking of getting an already cooked chicken (because Im not real good at cooking it)...but how would boiled chicken do in chicken soup? And if thats ok, how long do I boil it? I'll use white meat.

Gosh!

have to run...dr. apppt!

Thanks again!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
