chicken soup recipe

I make chicken soup using a chicken carcass. Cover it with water, add some salt, bring it to the boil and then let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Then I strain it with a colander and allow it to cool. That makes it easier to remove any fat from the surface. Usually there will be small amounts of meat left so I pick those off so putting into my soup. Now I cut up vegies. I like to use carrots, onions and corn but you can add whatever vegies you like. You can also add rice, barley or pasta if you want. I reheat my broth after having removed the fat, add in the vegies and leave it to cook long enough to cook the vegies.

I just chop the chicken into small pieces then boil it in boiling water. Add some carrots and potatoes, sliced celery and a sprinkle of black pepper. Add tomatoes at the end and don't forget the salt. When serving, add chopped onion leaves, soup leaves and fried onions.
