Gourmet Cookbook<\/a> by Ruth Reichl.
\nOne onion\/2 carrots\/2 stalks of celery\/one 3-4 lb chicken (we use Empire)\/one cup uncooked brown rice or barley\/parsley
\nCut up all the vegetables and throw them in a pot with the rice\/barley and a whole chicken (really!) Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Simmer until the chicken is cooked. Put the chicken in a colander. After the chicken cools down, remove the skin and throw it out. Then shred the chicken and toss it back in the pot with some parsley. Skim fat and reheat.
\nThe trick is not to overcook the chicken. I use a meat thermometer and pull out the chicken as soon as it hits 165. And the brown rice isn’t just because I want to impress you with our healthy eating habits – the texture is really integral to the recipe. Sometimes I add some veggie bouillon cubes along with the salt and pepper if it needs a little oomph.
\nThis soup is amazing. I just wish it could cure cancer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 See the milk situated treacherously close to our fleishig soup?
