Today the forecast in our little city was windy and cold. A bit of snow in the forecast for the mountains close by, but I don't think we will see any in the valley. Our next door neighbor, State of California, has already issued a severe drought advisory. It looks grim, and I can only imagine that this coming summer it will be a brutal one. So today for this crazy weather, I decided to do a Chicken soup. Sara Fragoso has an amazing recipe for a crock pot rotisserie chicken. I prepared earlier in the day the chicken in the crock pot, and later in the evening just shredded the chicken, blended the onions with the amazing chicken broth. The recipe calls for a whole onion, sliced and scattered at the bottom of the crock pot before plopping in the chicken. It's amazing and very cheap! It makes about 4 cups of chicken stock.
Ingredients for the soup:
Add 6 more cups of chicken broth
3 carrots, diced
1 celery, diced
6 small red potatoes, diced
3 Tbl of fresh ginger
2 cups of spinach, diced
6 cloves of minced garlic
One rotisserie chicken, shredded
3 Tbl of dried dill
1 Tbl of lemon juice
Pour all the broth in a pot, and bring it to a boil. Add all the ingredients. Cook until carrots and potatoes are tender.
Chow down and enjoy!
