How to cook deliciously - Chicken Vegetable Soup
1. Stage
In a Dutch oven, add the chicken, celery, onion and water. Bring to a boil, skimming off any fat or foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until chicken is tender, 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours. Remove the chicken and let it cool, retaining the broth.
2. Stage
When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and cut or tear it into bite-sized pieces. Return the meat to the pan with the broth.
3. Stage
Add the tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, turnip, bouillon and herbs. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the broccoli and peas (if using), and simmer until they're bright green and cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
