Sunday Lunch Soup

I made this chicken and vegetable soup for my mother-in-law one Sunday when she was feeling poorly. It was a great success. You can have it with lumps by just chopping the vegetables, or processed smooth in a food processor. You can also change the vegetables to suit your tastes.

Step: 1

In a large saucepan, boil the chicken in 5 cups water for approximately 30 minutes. Drain, retaining liquid, and chop the chicken.

Step: 2

In the saucepan over medium heat, place approximately 2 tablespoons reserved liquid, onions, garlic and green chile pepper. Slowly cook and stir 5 minutes, or until tender. One at a time, while gradually adding the remaining liquid, mix in the chopped chicken, potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, tomato puree, sweet corn, cabbage, carrots and celery. Pour in any remaining liquid, and stir in the chicken bouillon and mixed spice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step: 3

Before serving, stir in the heavy cream, mixing thoroughly. Serve with a sprinkling of paprika.

The name of “stew” can refer to 2 time a food and a make dishes method. Stewing involves slowly cooking chunks of meat, vegetables or beans in a tastefull water based .

The meat is chopped into few of pieces instead of being cooked whole , and the water based material all of it covers the contents in a stew as compared to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for making a rib-sticking meal that comfortable you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of old menu of beef stew does have warming featured food , but stew’s cozy factor more than a way beyond preserving you from the cold . It’s all about those soft and chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
