Chicken Soup

A is going to be away for the entire week which basically means I have to cook my own meals myself or at some point lose my entire stomach to my own gastric juices. So I made a huge pot of chicken soup yesterday... yes real chicken soup from real live, erm sorry I meant real dead chicken, onions, carrots and potatoes. It actually turned out pretty good... well it better be with all the ingredient I stuffed in. And this entire pot of soup should last me a good three days. I usually cook my food in fairly large batches, only because it means I have to wash up only once, I get to use up all the ingredients rather than stuffing a half shaven carrot back into the refrigerator, it easier than cooking miniscule amounts and I never have to worry about cooking again, at least for the next couple of days.





Here's my recipe (ok it isn't so much of a recipe than it is just dumping everything into a pot of water):

Half a chicken (which has to be scoured with hot water first)

1 red onion (this makes the soup nice and sweet.)

3 potatoes (have I mentioned I love potatoes?)

2 carrots (these really end up being soft and yummy.)

Salt for taste (where would we be without good ol' sodium?)

That's it! Just put everything together, boil boil boil, simmer simmer simmer, and voila, great chicken soup. And I lurve chicken soup.
