Classic Jewish Chicken Soup
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, giblets removed
- 2 large onions, chopped
- water to cover
- 2 tablespoons dried dill weed
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 leeks, diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 large kohlrabi bulb, peeled and diced
- 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
Steps
- Put chicken and onions in a large pot; pour in enough water to cover. Add dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Skim and discard any foam from the top of the simmering liquid. Remove chicken to a cutting board. Remove as much meat from the bones as possible and cut into chunks.
- Return the broth to a boil. Add carrots, potatoes, leeks, celery, kohlrabi, and parsnips. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in cooked chicken and bouillon. Season again with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is hot, about 5 minutes.
