Bobby Jodi’s Chicken Soup
Chicken Soup (aka Liquid Gold)
Ingredients:
Pack of Chicken Bones( approximately 2.5 lbs)
Pack of Chicken Necks
Pack of Turkey Necks
Whole Chicken cut in quarters
1 small piece of Kolichel
1 large Spanish onion
5 stalks of celery
1 Cubanelle pepper
5 large carrots
2 parsnips
1 turnip (white and purple on the outside)
1 small Yellow Turnip( sometimes called Wax Turnip or Rutabaga)- Yhis gives the soup a beautiful Golden color
4 frozen garlic cubes
4 frozen ginger cubes
1 small bunch each of parsley and dill
2 TBL’s Iodized salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Cold Water to cover ingredients (approximately 20 cups)
A generous sprinkle of love!
Directions:
The following gets placed into a large soup pot
Place bones,chicken & turkey necks,chicken quarters and Kolichel into mesh cooking bags.
Place onion,celery, Cubanelle pepper,parsley & dill into mesh bags.
Peel and cut carrots,parsnip and turnips into chunks and place directly into soup
Fill pot with cold water to cover ingredients.
Pop in garlic & ginger cubes and add the salt & pepper
Bring soup to a boil and begin skimming the foam that accumulates on top(this takes some time & needs to be done a few times)
Once foam is cleared, lower flame,cover the pot & let soup simmer for at least 3 hours( the longer the better)
Allow the soup to cool on the counter for about an hour (never a good idea to put a piping hot pot into the fridge)
Carefully remove mesh bags
Discard bones and herbs
Take chocken off of the bone and cut into pieces( my family loves soup chicken)
The kolichel gets cut up as well( extremely soft and delicious)
Put chicken & kolichel back into the soup
Place the soup in the fridge over night
Take soup out
The congealed fat on the top of the soup can be easily removed by gently placing a paper towel on it and slowly lifting it off.
Soup is ready to be reheated!
Inhale the delicious aroma and enjoy!
This soup will magically cure whatever ails you and will feel like a warm hug in a bowl!
