Directions: |
Directions:Put in cold water to within around 2-3 inches of the top, add
around 2 teaspoons of salt and some pepper, and bring to a
boil..scum and fat will rise to the surface and keep removing
by skimming with a spoon. Have an old container or used can
handy to put the scum into and discard in the garbage. Don’t
put this stuff down a drain. When the scum is all off, reduce
heat to low.
Add veggies to the pot.
Cook covered for around an hour to hour and ½.. veggies
should be fork tender.
Use big strainer or slotted spoon.. like a Chinese strainer..lift
all the chicken and veggies out. Carrots can be put directly
into the soup. Save the chicken for chicken salad or
sandwiches. Throw the other cooked veggies out. (Parsnips
and parsley root can be mashed..good). Pour the soup
through a fine (small holes) strainer or cheese cloth into
containers to cool.
Refrigerate and then remove layer of fat which forms on the
top.. sometimes you can spoon it off the top.
Matzo balls.. use a mix (make sure it says matzo BALL mix,
not just soup, and follow the directions on the package. |
