It’s that time of the year again and I am updating and resharing this classic recipe from 2021. Chicken soup is my comfort food anytime of the year but I admit that I make it a little more often when it is cold. It is perfect for after a day of playing out in the snow, if we manage to get any this year!

One thing about chicken soup is that everyone loves it. I don’t think I know of a person who doesn’t love unless they aren’t a fan of chicken. My older brother though who hates chicken enjoys this soup.

Ingredients

3 lb chicken, whole
4 carrots, halved
4 stalks celery, halved
1 large onion, halved
1 tsp chicken bouillon granules (optional)
water to cover
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Put the chicken, carrots, celery and onion in a large soup pot and cover with cold water. Heat and simmer, uncovered, until the chicken meat falls off of the bones (skim off foam every so often).
Take everything out of the pot. Strain the broth. Pick the meat off of the bones and chop the carrots, celery and onion.
Season the broth with salt, pepper and chicken bouillon to taste, if desired. Return the chicken, carrots, celery and onion to the pot, stir together, and serve.
