everyone in my house has been sick this week, so my boy and i made chicken soup last night, as we watched "ratatouille".
we quartered and skinned a chicken, boiled it and skimmed the scum, then removed it and set it aside to cool. to the pot i added some carrots and tomatoes from my garden, some broccoli and celery, and browned onions and garlic.
the chicken bones were removed and the meat added back to the pot. finally, we put in a load of parsley and thyme from my herb garden.
dw is a chicken soup snob since her mom's was the best in the world, and i was happily surprised that she liked it. i asked my son what we should call our soup, and he proclaimed it "make you feel better soup", and then pretended to open our own restaurant.
