Chicken Soup Recipe for Shabbat

Ingredients:

One whole chicken
1 onion cut in quarters
3 garlic cloves
1" ginger root shredded
2 tsps. salt
1 pound potatoes
4 large carrots cut in 1" slices
2 stalks celery cut in 1" slices
1 zucchini (optional)
1 sweet potato (optional)
matzo balls (optional - can add before ready to serve - see next recipe)

Instructions:

  1. Place all ingredients in a large stock pot and add water to cover (3 to 4 liters).
  2. Bring water to boil over medium heat, but watch the pot so water never comes to rolling boil (to avoid clouding the soup).
  3. When water is just about to boil, turn heat to lowest setting so only a few lazy bubbles break the surface. Cover pot and let simmer for 4 hours. (Longer simmering will not hurt soup.)
  4. Remove pot from heat, fish out most of the chicken parts and vegetables and discard. Strain the liquid through a fine strainer. Adjust salt to your taste.

    Makes about 3 to 4 liters of chicken stock.
    Enjoy your Shabbat with scrumptious Kosher Food.
