Introduction

This is adapted from a recipe my Mother used to make...it's almost like a stew!
Mom used to say that using the bones helped the soup fight off colds better; plus the bone & skin add additional flavor to the soup.

Tips

I usually serve the soup over some rice or pasta; but it tastes great without it. This tastes even better the next day!


Directions

Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cut Chicken breasts in half.

Put olive oil (use enough to coat the bottom) in Dutch oven or soup pot & heat. Add chopped celery, onions & baby carrots. Cook (stir frequently!) until onions are translucent. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, cook until skin starts to brown and then add the breasts. Cook (turning meat as needed) at medium heat until all sides of chicken are no longer pink.

Add broth, potatoes, spices and water. Bring to a boil & then reduce heat. Simmer until skin starts to fall off of thighs. Remove the thighs from the pot, take off skin & cut meat from the bone. Put the chicken back in the pot and add tomato sauce. Continue cooking until potatoes are tender & chicken is no longer pink. Total cooking time runs 90-120 minutes.
