Two Leftover Soups – Rotisserie Chicken and Brisket Barley
stevesacooking.com
In the northeast we rotisserie more chicken than beef brisket in Texas it’ s the opposite. In the spirit of the playoffs I use a little of both to make these for those of you who maybe fighting the flu you got from throwing snow around Gillette Stadium each time we made a great play.
I bought a rotisserie chicken the other day was running late and needed a quick meal when I gazed the aisle of fried food or old pasta dishes and the thought of well-preserved food in the frozen aisle I settled for the rotisserie chicken with the thoughts of making a quick soup for Lyn with the leftovers, She got the flu and everyone knows chicken soup is as good as penicillin. When the time came to make it and when I pulled it out of the frig noticed the left over brisket the gears started to turn. Chicken soup and beef barley soup. Oh by the way did Mike call to see how she was, nooooooo let’s give him a hard time about that.
Note: I really did not measure anything just cooked via the gut
Chicken Soup
· Chop a few stocks of celery
· Chops a small to medium onion
· A couple of carrots sliced bite size
· 1 or 2 cloves of garlic
· Small handful of dried Basel
· Couple of bay leaves
· Salt and pepper ( I start with a little and add to taste when done)
· Large can of low sodium broth
· Cut up the chicken into 4 pieces
· Water
How:
Sauté the onions, carrots and celery in olive oil until the onions are tender
Add the garlic stir until you can smell about 30 seconds
Add basil and stir then add broth
Add chicken
Add water to cover
Bring to boil and simmer until done at least 45 minutes
You can cook rice or noodles to serve with
Freezes great
