Happy Cooking Day!
Today my husband and I had the day off together, so we decided to make it a homemade kind of a day. My husband makes the best Chicken and Rice Soup with his simple recipe which consisted of: 1 whole chicken 8 carrots 1 entire head of celery (leaves and all) 1/2 white onion salt and pepper to taste First he makes the broth, so the carrots, celery and onion in this part will be discarded after the broth is made. Combine the leaves and complete bottom part of the celery (leave the good parts for the soup), 4 carrots and 1/4 of the onion into a large pot and fill with water to about 1" below the rim. Bring it to a boil on level 5, and then simmer on level 2 for about 31/2 hours. Now for the real work, time to strain the chicken and vegetables from the broth. We poured the broth through a strainer into another 5 quart pan that we had sitting in the sink just in case there was splashing. Next, allow the chicken and vegetables...
