The Temperature is reaching 17 degrees tonight and the wind is howling through the trees, extra blankets are on the bed. Today is a perfect day for hot hearty chicken soup. The secret to this dish is the vegetables you use. There are no set veggies you can use just use what you like.
I like to use spinach in my chicken soup also Rotel which is a spicy tomato blend of onions and peppers which adds a kick to this dish. this works wonders id you have a cold.
I also like to use chicken thighs or the drumstick I put the chicken in a pot of water and soil it down and this creates a stock, I also like to use additional chicken stock. To the pot I add lots of onions, carrots and sweet baby bell peppers. Some people like to use leeks which is in the onion family but a milder version, some like to add mushrooms.
To give this soup robust flavor I like to use thyme and a bay leaf and fresh garlic. You are really going to enjoy this chicken soup. I you have other seasonings you like to use on chicken don't hesitate to put it into the pot.
Some hard crusty bread and butter tops the whole meal off with a nice cool drink.
