groceries acquired…

and it is good.  started chicken soup.  the groceries arrived around 5, so it was a little late to have soup tonight (my chicken soup takes all day to cook).  this variation on the theme, since i make it different every time i make chicken soup is:

  •  take 1/2 c. chopped onion and saute in a tablespoon of butter (in your stock/soup pot)
  • add 1 14oz can of chicken broth, stir and get up any onion stuck to the bottom of the pot
  • add 1 whole chicken (rinsed) and enough cold water to cover, plus a generous pinch of salt, pepper and garlic powder and a dash (literally, just a dash!) of cayenne pepper.
  • bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered about 2 hours

that’s where i’m at now.  tomorrow the chicken will be disassembled.  bones, skin and the like discarded and meat returned to the pot where i will simmer until it’s reduced by about 1/3.  i don’t think i’ll be adding any noodles.  just chicken and broth.
