CHICKEN SOUP
This is the well-known and now universal soup of the "Yiddishe mama" as it
was served in east European Jewish homes. Former Prime Minister of Israel
Golda Meir was known to cook a fine-tasting chicken soup for both family and
VIPs whenever they came to call. Chicken soup is reputed to cure the sick
but is equally recommended to the healthy.
1 soup chicken
2 cubes chicken bouillon
3 1/2 quarts water
2 onions
2 sprigs dill
1 tbs. salt
2 carrots
3 celery stalks
1 parsley root
3 sprigs parsley
1 tsp. lemon pepper salt
Clean chicken thoroughly. Combine in a deep saucepan with water, onions,
and bouillon. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 1 hour. Add
remaining ingredients. Cover and cook over low heat 1/2 hour longer, or
until chicken is tender. Remove chicken and strain soup. Taste and correct
seasonings. Makes about 2 to 2-1/2 quarts of soup. Use the chicken in other
dishes or serve with the soup.
