Chicken Soup Recipe

The cold weather has paid us a visit. Soooo, you know I had to make some Chicken Soup!!! Yep, that and it's inexpensive. Notice the sale price of a whole chicken - what? I bought the rice by the bulk because it's so much cheaper that way. And most of the veggies came from the Farmers Market across the street from my house - very convenient....

And now I present (drum roll, please) the Recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

1- Whole Fryer Chicken

2- Tomato

2- Onion

2- Green Peppers

2- cups Rice

4- cloves of Garlic

5- Carrots (yeah, it's not in the pic, because it was an after-thought)

Olive Oil

2- Bay Leaves

2-Tbs Salt

2- Tbs Pepper

4- Tbs Thyme

Cut up all the veggies into large chunks.

Add the Rice and Salt, then Sautee in Olive Oil

Add the Chicken (make sure it's guts aren't in there). Fill up with Water, then add the Thyme and Bay Leaves.





Cook for a very long time. I usually bring it to a boil then turn it down to simmer. Add the Pepper.
Remove the Chicken out and pull off all the yummy meat.
Add the meat back into the soup and serve!
