Well, I made Chicken soup the other night…. I know, I know I should have posted.. But by the time I made it was too tired. Well I would not be telling you this except I gave our friend Chris a bowl last night, and he wanted the recipe, cause it’s soooo good.

The most important item is a soup pot. A really big one, if you are going to make this soup you want to make as much as you can!

ingredients
1 chicken for soup (go to a Chinese butchers and ask for a chicken for soup)(if they have carcasses buy 1 or 2 as well)
1 Whole bunch of celery, stems diced, keep the tops
5 onions, 3 quartered, 2 diced
1 whole garlic, cut in half horizontally
3 carrots, diced, keep the peel and tops
3 cobbs of fresh corn (or 1 tin), if fresh cut from cobbs
200g Frozen Peas
Noodles..(depends on how big your pot is, but don’t go crazy.
Chopped parsley.

Meat Balls

1 TBSP of whole pepper corns
300g beef mince (good stuff not fatty)
chopped parsley
1 egg
pepper, salt and freshly grated nutmeg to taste

Fill the pot with the whole chicken, celery tops, carrot peelings, quartered onions, whole garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns. Fill pot with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 1 hour. Remove chicken, remove meat, dice and put aside, replace bones and simmer for another 1/2 hour. Strain stock. To the liquid add, corn, onions, celery, peas, noodles and meat balls. Simmer till meatballs are floating and the noodles are cooked. Add chicken, season to taste and add lots of fresh parsley. Enjoy. Freeze left overs.

Make Meatballs: mix all ingredients together and continue mixing till the meat becomes like a paste. Make into meatballs.
