To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook chicken soup using 13 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Chicken Soup:
Get 1 large chicken (around 2.25kg), either left whole or quartered (I freeze raw chicken carcasses and trimmings from other dishes and add these to my soup for extra flavour)
Take 3 sticks celery with leaves
Make ready 2 medium onions, peeled
Get 2 large leeks, halved lengthways, dark green part removed
Get 1 large parsnip, peeled and halved lengthways
Make ready 2 large carrots, peeled and halved lengthways
Take 1/2 green pepper, deseeded (optional)
Take 2 tomatoes
Get 1/2 small raw beetroot, peeled (optional)
Take 1 handful parsley on the stem, no need to chop it
Get 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus extra to taste
Take Cold water

These recipes are perfect for chilly evenings. In a large saucepan, bring broth and onion to a boil. Remove chicken from pot, and let stand until cool enough to handle. Skim fat from surface of soup, if desired, and discard.
Instructions to make Chicken Soup:
Place the chicken in a large pan and cover with cold water by 5cm.
Add the salt and bring to a gentle boil, skimming off any scum that rises. Keep skimming for several minutes until no more appears.
Add the vegetables and another 250ml of cold water. Bring back to a simmer and skim again if necessary.
Put the lid on and simmer for two hours. Check the seasoning and, if significantly reduced in volume, add another 250ml water.
Simmer for a further 1 – 2 hours.
Add the beetroot for the last hour of cooking to give your soup the most wonderful golden colour.
Carefully remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Do not throw this meat away: picked from the bones, it can be used right away — perfect in a curry, a chicken pie, chopped up and mixed with mayonnaise in a sandwich — or frozen for later.
Strain the soup through a fine sieve into a clean bowl or pan and allow it to cool.
When cool, refrigerate overnight, then skim off most of the fat that has hardened on top. Don’t remove it all. Those little ‘golden globules’, as my late father used to call them, demonstrate its provenance.
To serve, bring to a boil and enjoy piping hot. Garnish each bowlful with a pinch of chopped parsley, plus any (or all, if you’re my brother-in-law) of the following: kneidlach (matzo balls), kreplach (Jewish ravioli), lokshen (vermicelli or flat noodles), egg lokshen, butter beans, some of the cooked carrot from the soup, boiled rice or meat from the chicken wings.

Chicken soup freezes well and you should always have some to hand in case of plague, famine or invasion.
Remove and discard parsley stems and bouquet garni. The keys to this amazing chicken matzo ball soup are slow-cooking it and using boxed matzo ball mix. Some people swear by seltzer, but I find it's not necessary—the mix makes perfect, fluffy matzo balls every time due to its baking powder. Place all ingredients but the pepper into a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
