I found this at TLC while looking for something else and I am glad I did! This makes a great weeknight meal because it uses quick prepared ingredients. I just use whatever frozen mixed veggies I have on hand. This is not gourmet, but it is warm and filling and very good. I serve in bread bowls or with crusty french bread on the side.

2 whole chicken breasts, bone-in, skin on
6 cups chicken broth
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 carrot, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons flour, preferably Wondra
1 small turnip, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 ounces rutabaga or parsnip, cut into 1/2-inch dice

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of seafood and vegetables.
