Number Of Ingredients 28

1 chicken (whole or cut into pieces)
3 gallons water
4 white onions, unpeeled, quartered
1 bunch celery, ends trimmed, halved
1 lb carrot, ends trimmed, unpeeled, halved
2 whole heads of garlic, unpeeled, halved horizontally
1 cup fresh herb (your choice, dill, parlsey, sage, rosemary, thyme...)
2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
2 tablespoons salt
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs
1/2 cup quick oatmeal
1/2 cup minced parsley
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups stock
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups corn
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
meatballs
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
salt & pepper
1/2-1 cup parmesan cheese (to taste)

Steps:

  • Combine all stock ingredients in a very large stockpot.
  • Bring to a boil & simmer 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove chicken to a strainer set over a large bowl. When cooled, pick meat off bones & reserve for another use.
  • Let vegetables simmer another hour then strain. The liquid should be significantly reduced.
  • While stock is blissfully simmering away, make meatballs.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine all meatball ingredients well with your hands.
  • Shape into 1" balls. You should get about 2 dozen.
  • Place on a baking sheet & bake 15 minutes. Roll around on baking tray & bake another 15 minutes.
  • When stock is done & strained, put 8c into a large soup pot. Reserve the rest for a myriad of other dishes. It also freezes very well.
  • Add all the vegetables to the stock.
  • Bring to a boil & simmer until veggies are tender - about 15 minutes - breaking up the tomatoes a bit as it simmers.
  • Add meatballs & heat through another 10 minutes.
  • Taste for seasoning; add salt & pepper as necessary. Add parsley & serve.
  • We enjoyed this garnished with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

YOU WILL GET BETTER SOUP



You Will Get Better Soup image

Ingredients that make eyes water and noses run turn out to be very useful in relieving cold and flu symptoms - so chicken soup made with hot, pungent additions works better than recipes that are more bland. That explains the fair amount of heat in this recipe, which can be assembled quickly, even by someone who is feeling pretty rotten (better yet, get someone to make it for you). Sip this slowly from a favorite mug on the couch, blankets tucked around you, and feel better soon.

Get Well Chicken Noodle Soup image

This is the soup I want when I'm under the weather. It's also a great pick-me-up after a late night! I usually make a batch once every three months or so and freeze it in 24 or 32 oz containers so that I always have some ready to pull out.

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 2h30m

Yield 5-6 quarts, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large chicken breasts, with bone and skin
1 (15 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth
5 quarts water, approximately
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
3 carrots, cut into small wedges
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
black pepper, fresh ground to taste
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 lb linguine

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a tall stock pot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add chicken stock and enough water to cover and allow the chicken to float slightly. Bring to a boil then reduce to low and simmer until the skin is pulled back and the meat is white.
  • Remove the chicken breasts and place on a cutting board. Skim the foam off the top of the soup. Add the celery, carrots, onion, and poultry seasoning. Cover and simmer.
  • Allow the chicken to cool so that you don't get burned while handling it. Remove the skin from the chicken breasts and cut away all the meat. Cut meat into small bite-sized pieces. Add meat back to the soup. Taste the broth about twenty minutes after the chicken has been added. Add salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning to taste.
  • About fifteen to twenty minutes before you are ready to serve, break the noodles in half and add to the soup. Cook until just past al dente.

GET WELL SOUP



GET WELL SOUP image

Categories     Ginger     Vegetable     Stew     Vegetarian

Yield Makes about 12-16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large yams
2 carrots
1 package mashed butternut squash
1 package mashed turnips
2 leeks, washed carefully
1 yellow onion chopped
6 cloves of garlic
fresh ginger to taste
salt and pepper
fresh rosemary to taste
2 sticks of celery sliced paper thin
Powdered vegetarian bouillion about 1/4 cup
pepitas and sour cream (optional) for garnish

Steps:

  • Scrub the yams and cover with cold water in a soup pot with peeled carrots. Boil gently until fork tender. Remove the skins from the yams and return to the pot. Add remaining ingredients except rosemary and celery, and continue to simmer until all vegetables are tender. Transfer the vegetables in batches to a food processor and puree. Return to pot and add rosemary and celery, and enough water so the soup is very thick but not pasty. Correct seasonings and heat very hot. Serve with a dollop of sour cream sprinkled with pepitas for a hearty main dish/soup. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your soup the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients. Cook them just until they are tender.
  • Add some protein: Protein will help to make your soup more filling and satisfying. You can add cooked chicken, beef, pork, or tofu.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. A well-seasoned soup is always more delicious.
  • Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for a longer period of time will help to develop the flavors. Aim to simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: A side of bread or crackers is a great way to soak up the soup and make it even more satisfying.

Conclusion:

Get well soup is a delicious and nutritious way to help you feel better when you're sick. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're feeling under the weather, give get well soup a try. You won't be disappointed.
