Best 2 Magics Green And White Chicken Soup Recipes

MAGIC SOUP

Steps:

• Place chicken in pot, cover with cold, good-tasting water.
• Rough chop 1 onion (including skin), 1 parsnip, 1 turnip, 2 carrots and add to stock pot.
• Add garlic, ginger and salt& pepper.
• Bring all ingredients to a boil then reduce to a simmer.
• Simmer stock for at least 2 hours, skimming any scum that rises to the top.
• The longer you cook this, the better it tastes.
• You can make the stock in a crockpot for 6-8 hours on low.
• Remove vegetables and discard.
• Remove chicken and debone.
• Strain stock and taste for seasoning.
• Add salt as necessary.
• Chop remaining parsnip, turnip, onion, and carrots into bite-size chunks and drop into simmering stock.
• Replace deboned chicken.
• You can reserve some for another recipe, but I usually use all of it.
• Add egg noodles.
• Cook for an additional 10 minutes or until egg noodles are tender.
• Add dill and parsley at the very end of the cooking process.

ITALIAN WHITE-BEAN-AND-MUSTARD-GREENS SOUP

Steps:

• Place beans in a large bowl, cover with 2 inches cold water; let soak overnight at room temperature. Drain and rinse beans. (Or quick-soak them: Boil beans 1 minute, then let them sit off heat, covered, 1 hour.)
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden brown in places, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and greens to pot, and cook, stirring frequently, until greens wilt, about 2 minutes.
• Tie together thyme, parsley, and bay leaves with kitchen twine, and add to pot along with beans, Parmesan rind, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, transfer to oven, and braise 1 hour.
• Remove from oven, and stir in 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover, return to oven, and braise until beans are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add farro, and cook until grains are tender and begin to split, about 25 minutes. Drain.
• Divide farro among 6 bowls, and ladle soup over farro. Sprinkle with Parmesan, and drizzle with oil. Soup and farro can be refrigerated in separate containers 2 days; let cool completely before refrigerating. Gently reheat together in a covered pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
