Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

  10. Handful fresh parsley, a lemon, 6 cloves peeled garlic,
  11. Bay leaves, salt and pepper to taste
  12. Add enough cool water to cover chicken
  13. Bring to a boil then simmer on low for 3 hours
  14. FOUR:
  15. Remove solids discard everything but the chicken breasts
  16. Allow broth to cool and place in refrigerator overnight
  17. Your beautiful chicken stock is finished and ready for soup!
  18. FIVE:
  19. When chicken has cooled, gently pull apart with fingers
  20. Discard bones
  21. Save reserved chicken in a separate bowl until needed
  22. SIX:
  23. Dice: 2 Carrots, 1 onion, 1 shallot,
  24. Stalks celery and 4 red potatoes
  25. SEVEN:
  26. In a soup pot over medium heat:
  27. Add onions and cook until wilted
  28. Add shallots and garlic and cook until golden
  29. Add carrots, celery, potatoes and a generous sprinkling of salt & pepper
  30. Cook for 5 minutes
  31. EIGHT:
  32. Remove stock from refrigerator
  33. With a spoon, skim fat from surface
  34. Pour into soup pot through a strainer
  35. Bring soup to a boil
  36. Add chicken back to soup along with torn up pieces of escarole
  37. Cook soup for 2 more minutes
  38. LAST STEP!
  39. Serve soup over your choice of noodles or rice (I used egg noodles). Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve with a hearty bread!! I know not everyone adds potatoes to their chicken soup, but I was craving something a little more hearty. The lemon and ginger make the broth beautifully fragrant. Also, the soup can be served the same day the stock is made. I like making the stock a day before making the soup because it makes the soup much more flavorful.
