Hearty Chicken Soup

This is a recipe for chicken soup that I started making while off at university. It has plenty of vegetables, and is fairly simple to make. It may seem time consuming, but after you make it the first time it seems less daunting afterwards.

Step 1 Step One: Shopping

First and foremost you will need to gather the ingredients needed for this soup.

Ingredients :

Bunch of Carrots
Celery Stalk
Broccoli Crowns
Yellow Potatoes
Frozen Peas
2 Cartons Chicken Stock**
2 Chicken Breasts
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 Butter or Margarine

Spices:
Salt
Pepper
Paprika

 ** For a healthier option use a low sodium organic broth, or home-made chicken broth. If you don't have time to make your own broth the cartons make a good substitute.

How big are the cartons of broth?

If you know some good edible mushrooms, they can be added. The ones you buy in the store are extremely expensive, unless you go for the standard commercial variety, that taste OK, but there is nothing like a good black morel. (More drooling!)

I have been making a hearty chicken stew in a crock pot for about ten years. You just put in the chicken, potatoes and vegetables into water in the crock pot raw, and let them cook for four or more hours on high, with a chicken boullion cube. If the bone end look red, or if the meat bleed when poked with a fork, it is still raw. Poultry seasoning can be used near the end. (Drool)
