  • 1 onion cut into quarters
  • 3 sticks of celery
  • 7 TBS chicken stock/consommé powder

Add all ingredients into a pot & bring to a boil with the lid on. Turn down the heat and simmer with the lid on for 4 hours. Add more water & stock if necessary.

Strain chicken & vegetables in a strainer. Discard the onion & celery.

Blend half the carrots to give the soup color. Return the carrot puree, remaining carrots and shredded chicken to the soup.

Notes

Always cool soup with stock without the lid. If it is a large pot let the soup cool in 2 batches otherwise it can go sour. Soup freezes very well.
