While the pot is simmering and in between skimming the soup, prep the vegetables. You can see some of the fat has been released by the chicken, and most of the foam has been removed. Keep skimming until the soup looks something like this (it may take 40-50 minutes to get to this point): I don't have to get every last bit of scum at this point, because when I add the vegetables they will release more impurities. Continue skimming until most of the scum is gone. Use the ladle and/or slotted spoon to carefully skim the foam and froth from the top of the pot. Don’t abandon it or the soup will become murky. Give the pot a stir every few minutes - before it achieves a simmer the chicken will start to release some of it’s impurities. Set over high heat and bring to a simmer. If you buy a whole chicken, remove any organs and ‘extras’ and use for something else. In the end the skin will be removed and the soup with be strained so any extra pin feathers won’t harm the final product. Kosher chicken is notorious for having a lot of pin feathers left in the skin - remove what you can, but don’t become overly stressed about it. 2 chicken backs (the carcass leftover from deboning chicken breasts) (1 lb.).To start your own batch of broth, you’ll need: It takes some time to extract all the potential flavour the chicken is offering up. These chickens are old and tough - but they have more flavour. For soup, chicken is usually sold as ‘mature chicken’, ‘fowl’, ‘stewing fowl’ or simply ‘soup chicken’. If you are using whole chickens (and not just bones), use old chickens.We will be using the meat, so a mix of whole chicken and extra bones works best. If you will not be using the meat from the chickens, don’t bother using whole birds. It’s best to use chicken pieces that have a high ratio of bones to meat, such as necks and wings. All impurities must be removed from the pot as they bubble and foam to the top. You must be vigilant in the shaming (skimming). You can’t abandon the pot as it cooks.Important points for perfecting your chicken soup: What I've included below is my family's method. There are many recipes and techniques, including this great lesson in the eGCI. Making stock, broth or soup from poultry is not a new concept. I continue to prepare soup in the same ways that they did so that I can recreate their perfect broth and my childhood memories. My grandmothers have long passed away, but their soup-making technique has passed down through my parents to me. If you didn't, now is the time to try it yourself. If you grew up with a Jewish mother (or grandmother), it’s likely that you’ve experienced this yourself.
There is nothing in this world that evokes memories of my childhood more than the aroma of chicken soup wafting through the house as it simmers slowly on the stove top.
