Grandpa's Garden Chicken Soup image

Grandpa sends me veggies from his huge garden every year and I use 'em for this soup, which has been called 'the best soup I've ever eaten' by friends. It's pretty unstructured and can change to meet your personal tastes. It's basically a chicken veggie soup; it's the FRESH veggies that make it the best. I just throw stuff in until it looks and tastes the way I want it to. It's also GREAT if you're sick; I swear it'll cure what ails ya! YUM! The longer you SLOWLY cook the soup, the more flavorful it becomes. I often eat a bowl while it's simmering 'cause I can't wait.

Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 whole chicken, quartered
water, to cover
½ large onion, chopped
1 stalk celery with leaves, cut into chunks
3 cubes chicken bouillon
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
2 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and diced
2 carrots, sliced
1 large turnip, diced
½ medium head cabbage, chopped
2 ears sweet corn, cut from cob
4 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tomato, chopped

Steps:

  • Put chicken pieces in a large stockpot; pour enough water over chicken to cover completely. Add onion, celery, bouillon cubes, basil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper to the pot; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook at a simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 1 hour.
  • Remove and discard celery chunks. Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool; cut as much meat as possible from the bones and chop roughly. Return chicken to stock.
  • Stir potatoes, kohlrabi, carrots, and turnip into the soup; cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add cabbage, corn, green beans, and tomato; cook until the green beans are tender, 7 to 10 minutes more.

I'm not a big fan of chicken noodle soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The broth is so flavorful and the vegetables are cooked perfectly. I especially love the addition of the parmesan cheese. It gives the soup a really rich and creamy flavor.
