Chicken Soup ~ Two Ways

So, with the children sick, they needed some "Killer Chicken Soup".  

I started with 6 cups of my Basic Chicken Stock, added 1/2 of the shredded chicken, 3 shredded carrots and, because I didn't have egg noodles, 1 potato, also shredded.  I heated the soup until the potato and carrot were cooked and added a bit more salt. And that's it.  A very basic chicken soup to help heal.

I, on the other hand, feel fine and want a little something extra.  So, with the simple addition of a couple other ingredients I had on hand (green onions, cilantro, salsa, frozen corn and avocado), I made a 'Mock Chicken Tortilla Soup' (see the tortilla?).  Delicious and satisfying!

Enjoy!

Chicken Stock

The flu has come to rest at our home so "Killer Chicken Soup" is in order.  It all starts with a basic chicken stock.  Now, I asked my mother what makes her stock so wonderful and she gave me her recipe.  

 

She said it was exactly how she makes it . . . She lied.
