Chicken Wild Rice Soup
A week or so ago I bought a whole chicken and decided to cut it up myself. I'd never done that before, so I looked up a couple of videos on YouTube and went to it. It's an incredibly economical thing to do! I spent about $6 and got about $10-12 worth of meat out of it, and a nice carcass to make soup, which is what I did tonight. I never make the same soup twice, but there are always similarities, in this case, this is what I did: 1 chicken carcass, breast meat, thighs & wings removed -- don't worry, there's still plenty of meat several cups of water (5 or 6?) 1 medium onion, chopped 3 cloves of garlic, minced 4 medium carrots, sliced 3 stalks celery, sliced 1 can diced tomatoes 1 can white beans -- including that nice, starchy water 1/2 cup frozen yellow corn 1/2 tablespoon salt a good dose of ground pepper 1 tsp dill weed 1/2 tsp turmeric 1-1/2 tsp dried parsley A few shakes of red pepper flakes Most of my measurements are by eye so I am only guessing the amount....
