How To Make comforting chicken & shell soup
-
1In a dutch oven, combine chicken, water, chicken stock, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaf, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; simmer until chicken is tender.
-
2Remove the bay leaf. Now, remove the chicken and cool - debone and cut into small cubes, set aside. Now, add potatoes, bouillon, season salt and poultry seasoning to the broth. Simmer for another 15 minutes. Add the milk, macaroni and chicken and return to simmer.
-
3Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and continuously stir until mixture begins to brown.
-
4Add the butter mixture to the pot and blend well. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. Season to taste. Can sprinkle with nutmeg and some extra fresh parsley if desire. When reheating you may want to add a bit more milk or stock to thin it out a bit, as it thickens as it cools. Enjoy this delicious comfort soup...
