Alberta Man Chicken Soup
Simple, delicious, and easy! Feed the family with a one pot meal that will be their new go-to comfort food. The key to this recipe is the rotisserie chicken – cutting down on time and prep.
Ingredients:
- Full rotisserie chicken (buy this from most grocery stores)
- 1-2 peppers, (red/yellow/orange), diced
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1-2 tsp minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
- 2-3 carrots, diced
- 3-4 stalks of celery, diced
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 8 cups/2 quarts chicken broth
- 1-2 tsp poultry seasoning (to taste)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Butter or Neutral Oil
Optionally:
- Add cooked rice when serving, do not store with rice in the soup – it will break down and affect the texture of the broth.
- Not a fan of corn? Use frozen peas instead!
- Turn this into chicken-noodle by adding cooked noodles when serving – just with rice do not store with noodles in the soup because they will break down.
Equipment:
- Dutch oven or large soup pot (only if cooking on the stove)
- Knife and cutting board
- Heat safe spoon to stir
Instructions:
- In your pot add about 1 tbsp butter or oil and then diced onion. Saute until the onion starts to soften before adding your diced carrots, peppers, and celery. Continue cooking until all veggies are soft.
- Add minced garlic and saute another minute until fragrant, then add your broth and poultry seasoning and bring to a simmer.
- While waiting for broth to simmer, break down your chicken (if you haven’t already), tearing the meat into bite sized pieces. Add the chicken to the pot.
- Add your corn to the pot and let soup simmer for about ten minutes until corn is cooked through, season with salt and pepper and serve!
Notes: Pull apart your chicken at home and store in freezer bags. You can freeze this chicken and add it to the soup still frozen. This will increase day-of cooking time, but can save you prep time and fridge storage space!
