Transform Chicken Soup Into 3 Exotic Meals

Basic Chicken Soup Recipe    (serves 8)
  • 2 whole chickens, each cut into
  • 8 pieces (or 16 pieces of whatever chicken parts you like)
  • 8 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2” lengths
  • 6 celery stalks, cut into 2” lengths
  • 2 large yellow onions, cut into eighths
  • 5 bay leaves
  • 5 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
In a large pot, combine chicken, carrots, celery, onions, bay leaves and parsley with 16 cups of water. Place over high heat, uncovered, and after it comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Cook 1 hour, occasionally skimming the foam off the top. Remove the bay leaves and parsley, and serve from the pot, alongside whatever toppings you choose.
