How to make soup with chicken stock
Soup with chicken stock is a savory culinary creation made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and aromatic vegetables in water to extract a rich, flavorful broth. This homemade or store-bought chicken stock serves as the foundation for a wide variety of soups, such as chicken noodle, chicken and rice, or even vegetable soup. It provides a comforting, hearty base for these dishes and contributes to their delicious taste.
Ingredients
- Chicken stock (homemade or store-bought)
- Additional protein (chicken, beef, tofu, etc.) or vegetables of your choice
- Aromatics (onions, garlic, celery, carrots)
- Herbs and spices (thyme, bay leaves, pepper, etc.)
- Pasta, rice, or noodles (optional)
Instructions
- Chop your vegetables, garlic, and any protein you're using into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pot, heat some oil or butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic, celery, and carrots. Sauté for a few minutes until they become fragrant and slightly softened.
- If you're using chicken or another protein, add it to the pot and season with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. Cook until the protein is browned or cooked through.
- Add the chicken stock to the pot. You can use as much as you need to achieve your desired soup consistency. If you're adding pasta, rice, or noodles, add them at this stage too.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the soup to simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the ingredients are tender and flavors meld together.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed with more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Ladle your homemade chicken stock-based soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh herbs or grated cheese, if desired. Enjoy your delicious homemade soup!
