Mémère's Acadian Chicken Fricot
Ingredients
- 1 chicken carcass (mémère uses a box of chicken broth from the store, which works great too, but it's cheaper and more homesteady to make your own bone broth)
- 2 or 3 cups of chopped chicken (I use whatever is stuck to the bones of the chicken after we've had chicken dinner)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 8 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 6 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 4 celery stalks, sliced
- To taste Pepper and salt
- 2 tbsp summer savoury spice (No substitutes. This is what makes the soup. Bonus points if you grow your own.)
Instructions
- Make a bone broth with the chicken carcass. Simply put the carcass in a pot and cover with water. Let simmer for 24 to 48 hours. Strain out the bones and use the remaining broth for the soup
- Add the remaining ingredients to the broth. Bring to a boil and then simmer for an hour or until all the vegetables are cooked.Note: You may notice that there are not any measurements for how much broth you should use and that's because I just pour some in until all the vegetables are covered. Any leftover bone broth can be frozen and used for your next soup.
