Chicken Soup

[Prep Time: 5 min, Cooking Time: 1 hour passive]


What you need:
1 pack chicken bone (or substitute with thighs/drumsticks)
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic

Chicken bones may be hard to find in regular supermarkets. What is it? It's basically what's left of the chicken after they take off all the standard cuts. Usually the store throws the bones away, but if there's an Asian supermarket near where you live, you should be able to find them there. They are very well suited for chicken soup as they pack a lot of flavor and it doesn't take long for them to release those flavors. If I'm not mistaken, soup is their only use anyway, so you can't go wrong here.

If you can't find chicken bones, you can always substitute with chicken thighs/drumsticks. You'll want to boil the soup a bit longer in this case.

For my soup, I add a whole onion and a couple cloves of garlic for extra kick. There's a lot of flexibility here to make a more hearty soup. Some ingredients that go well: potatoes, carrots, celery, and rice. Experiment!
