For Johnnie McCoy, and other lazy cooks.
This does take a bit of the four-letter word “work”. It pays off though.
When you buy the jumbo bag of chicken quarters, take out a couple, or three if small, before freezing the rest. Put these in the biggest pot you have. Add a big onion, peeled, and quartered. Add two or three large bits of celery with leaves. (You will not be eating the leaves!) Also add a bunch of pepper, and as much salt as your diet allows. (Eat the celery as sticks, filled with peanut butter or cream cheese with your soup) Then put in water; I would guess two-three times the volume of the chicken (2 if you want it real rich, 3 if you want it like the canned stuff). I tend to go in between, depending on mood. Put it all on the stove, bring it to a boil, then sit back with a brewski ( low-carb) and watch the game. Take it all off the stove, and let it cool. Use a strainer, and a big bowl, and carefully filter out the solids from the liquids. You now have two piles of stuff. Take the solids; throw out everything except the meat. You will have to pick it off the bones, but what are fingers for??? At this point there are various decisions to be made. 1. Put the broth into freezer containers, or bags, and use for any recipe that asks for chicken broth.. The meat is used for chicken salad etc. 2. Make a huge bunch of soup, and then freeze. This involves going through the frig, and chopping up whatever “permitted” veggies you have, and throw it in the meat and broth mixture. If you don’t have much, wait until you go to the Flea market, and buy a zucchini, a leek, cauliflower bits, whatever veggies you see, etc. Cole slaw mix is great to add; it looks like noodles, and with imagination, ‘’you know”. You will have to add seasonings to your taste. My hubby (the insulin dependent T2) loves my soup, and never are two the same. Heat this for lunch, and eat with a smoked drumstick from Publix, and you are in pig-heaven! Or a ready made salad…the world is your oyster. |
