I think it's been scientifically proven that chicken soup really is good for the soul. At the very least, it's a cheap, healthy, hearty, easy and delicious winter meal that will be loved by the whole family. This one is taken originally from www.taste.com.au but I've made a few changes. This will really fill you up and comes in at just 210 calories per serve! Plus it is soooo tasty - our whole family loved this, it's definitely one of the best chicken soups I've ever tasted. A winter warmer winner! Plus, see how Liam & Robbie rated it - the Family Show Taste Test is below.
Ingredients (serves 6)
Olive oil spray
1kg chicken drumsticks
1 leek, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 carrot, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 small zucchini, diced
1 1/2 cups dry soup mix (lentils, split peas etc)
8 cups chicken stock
Method
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until just browned. Remove. Add leek and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until soft. Add carrot, celery and zucchini. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in soup mix, stock, chicken and 1 cup cold water. Increase heat to high. Bring to the boil.
Reduce heat to low. Simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour or until soup mix and vegetables are tender.
Remove chicken drumsticks from soup. Allow to cool slightly. Remove meat from bones. Roughly chop chicken meat and add to soup. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into warmed bowls. Serve.
