½ cup butter

1 ½ cups yellow corn kernels

GOOD OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN SOUP/STEW



Good Old Fashioned Chicken Soup/Stew image

There isn't anything more comforting on a snowy winter day than a bowl of homemade chicken soup. Don't let the list of ingredients turn you away. This is an extremely easy and flavourful soup to make. The soup is thicker the second day because of the added noodles. This also freezes extremely well.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 onion, quartered
2 celery ribs
2 carrots
4 garlic cloves
1 bay leaf
2 lbs skinless chicken pieces, skin and visible fat removed
10 -12 cups cold water
10 cups chicken broth
2 potatoes, quartered and sliced
2 carrots, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups chicken, that you've pulled from the bones
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon, liquid Bovril
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 1/2 cups thin egg noodles

Steps:

  • In a large dutch oven or stock pot, add onion, celery, carrots, garlic and bay leaf. Place chicken on top, and add water. (If your pot will only hold 10 cups of water at first, the remaining water can be added later, as some of it will evaporate.) Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken to a plate to cool. Strain the broth, and discard the vegetables.
  • At this point, the broth may be cooled and frozen for later use, or you may continue on with the recipe. This is an excellent time to remove any remaining fat from the broth.
  • Remove the meat from the bones, cut and set aside.
  • Return the broth to a clean pot. Bring to a boil and add the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 1/2 hour.
  • Add the chicken, bouillon, frozen vegetables, and noodles. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your stew.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. This recipe is a great base, but you can add or remove vegetables to suit your taste.
  • Cook the stew over low heat for a long time. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Serve the stew with a side of cornbread or biscuits. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

This old-fashioned chicken and corn stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this stew a try.
