If chicken soup is on your Friday night menu, start it on Wednesday or Thursday.

Regular chicken soup makers may already have a preferred recipe. Recipes won’t vary much, give or take a parsnip or leek, type of chicken or cooking time.

Mine comes from years of tweaking.

Ingredients

1.4 - 1.6kg whole roasting chicken plus carcasses/bones

2 medium onions, halved through the root

3 sticks of celery, washed and halved across 

3 large carrots, peeled and halved across the middle

1 parsnip, peeled and halved across the middle

A handful of parsley stalks (keep the leaves for garnish)

10 peppercorns

1 bay leaf
