Chicken Soup

This is a soup like no other, it will cure you of the flu...and it will lift your soul and spirit.


The soup on the front has the veggies and chicken and the one on the back, just the chicken stock.




It only takes some chopping and that is it.


Ingredients:


1/2 Red Pepper
1/2 Green Pepper
1/2 Onion
5 Garlic Cloves
3 Scallions
1 Leek
3 Carrots
2 Celery Stalks
2 Chicken Breasts or 2 Chicken Legs (I used the legs)
1/2 Tablespoon Paprika
1/3 Tablespoon Salt
1 Quart Water
1 Chicken Bouillon Cube
Olive Oil

We put the olive oil and all of the vegetables in a pan, then we sauté them until the onion becomes translucent. We add the chicken, the paprika and finally the water, the chicken bouillon, and salt. Bring to a boil and let it simmer until chicken is done. You will get a clean stock if you strain it, and in Spain they add a tablespoon sherry or a vegetable and chicken stock if you leave it alone. You can add ginger too but what my kids really like are the "fideos" it looks like angel hair pasta.
