A sure cure-all…chicken soup, Amish style!

I have just gotten over a very nasty case of the flu (which I was kind enough to pass along to my husband…) and I realized that half the people I know were either sick or just-on-the-mend. All this bad weather going around the country is not helping. I thought I’d pass along this wonderful recipe for Amish Chicken Soup that brings folks back to health in no time at all! Stay well, Amish readers.

Amish Chicken Soup

3lb. chicken

2 qt. water

2 tsp. salt, dash of pepper

1 1/2 cup chicken stock

2 cups celery, chopped

2 cups carrots, chopped

1 tart apple, chopped

1 c. onions, chopped

(opt. 2 pototoes, chopped)

4 cups egg noodles

Place chicken in kettle with 2 quarts water. Cover and cook until tender (about 2 1/2 hours). Remove chicken from kettle and strain broth. De-bone chicken and return to kettle with strained broth. Add stock, carrots, onions, celery, apple and pepper and cook until vegetables are tender. Add noodles and cook 10 minutes. Enjoy!

  1. YUM! Do I have to wait to be sick to try it out? Just kidding…Maybe I’ll make some and freeze it in case I do get sick. Does it freeze well, do you think?

  3. Would love to know if your are going to add anymore books to, “The Miller Family Series?” These books were great and such a blessing to me!
