Chicken Soup

After 'the family gathering' the one Sunday, Monday I had to wrap up the 2 chicken run terrorists for the freezer.

From the carcasses I made a stock that day (see recipe here )

A simple recipe for a fragrant, clear chicken soup.

Ingredients

• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 leek, cleaned and finely sliced
• 2 medium sized carrots, cubed ( 1 cm)
• 300 grs frozen peas
• 1 handful of chopped fresh chervil
• 3 liters of chicken stock
• 200 grs chicken pieces, cooked
• Vegetable oil
• Seasoning

Preparation

•  Sautee the onion in a little vegetable oil, add leeks, carrots and leave on a low heat for another few minutes.
• Pour in the stock, cook until the vegetables are tender/al dente.
• Add the peas in the last few minutes, together with the chervil.
• Take the soup of the heat and add the pieces of chicken.  They only need heating through. If you boil them they will get tough.
• Season with sea salt and freshley ground black pepper.

Simple.
