Nourishing Homemade Chicken Soup

With the colder weather upon us, I am craving warm meals. This chicken soup is very easy and packed full of nutrition.

A couple of notes about this recipe:

  • I first roasted a whole chicken and used about 2/3 of the meat from that chicken for this soup.
  • I used the chicken carcass from the roast chicken to make bone broth for this soup (bone broth recipe here). The bone broth is made with garlic, ginger and onion which adds a lot of flavour to the soup. If you use a store-bought broth, it may not have as much flavour and you may need to up the spices in the soup.

Enjoy!

Directions:

There are a few options with this recipe. I made it with leftover roast chicken meat and broth from that chicken carcass. I will give you alternatives in the steps if you don't have the whole chicken or homemade broth.

  1. Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat and add the oil.
  2. Chop the veggies and add them to the pot (onion, garlic, carrots and celery).
  3. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until onion is translucent.
  4. If you already have cooked chicken, just add the broth and spices (not the meat yet). Cover the pot, bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer for ~30 minutes. If you don't have cooked chicken, add the chicken, broth and spices and and cover the pot, bring to a boil, turn down to simmer until the chicken is cooked, ~20 minutes.
  5. If you've already got the cooked chicken, add it at the very end just to warm it up, but not cooking it any further.
  6. Serve immediately, or save in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  7. Optional additional seasonings: dill, thyme, more salt & pepper.
