December 23, 2010

I wasn't feeling great so I decided on some Jewish antibiotic in the form of a chicken soup.

Chicken Soup (e pastine al brodo)

Take a whole chicken and cover it with water. Add two white onions, either cut in quarters or in small cubes or slices, depending on your mood. A whole head of garlic is nice, put it in like that and you can peel it and spread it on bread to eat with the soup. Three bay leaves. One tablespoon salt. These are the essentials.
Then:
Vegetables from your vegetable drawer, cut in large pieces:
Carrots, parsnips, turnips, celery, celery root, potato, fresh tomato, rutabaga, cabbage (this I cut fine). Yesterday I used carrots, parsnips, and celery.

Bring the soup to a boil then turn it down low, cover it and let it simmer for at least two hours.

When its almost ready, take a smaller pot and fill it with broth. Bring it to the boil and add 450 g. of small pasta (pastine).

Serve the pastine with broth first, then the chicken and vegetables, with bread if you wish.
