Introduction
2 day soup...day 1, poach chicken legs in 2 qts low sodium broth with carrot and onion (whatever), refrigerate overnight and skim fat...day 2, make soup.This is my basic chicken soup....veggies differ, depending on what is in the fridge and needs to "get used". Vinegar used can be whatever you want...this soup needs a little acid to bring out the flavors (especially since it is such a low sodium version), don't be afraid of using more red pepper flakes or black pepper (or fresh ginger), I don't like spicy hot foods, but when you cut the sodium way back, you NEED spices to keep you happy with the taste of things. 2 day soup...day 1, poach chicken legs in 2 qts low sodium broth with carrot and onion (whatever), refrigerate overnight and skim fat...day 2, make soup.
