Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 0.5 cup Onion - chopped
  • 0.3 cup Celery - chopped
  • 1 Garlic clove - minced
  • 3 cup Water or chicken stock [fat Removed]
  • 1 cup Tomato - chopped
  • 6 oz Chicken meat - lean, cooked Or raw
  • 0.3 tsp Thyme
  • 0.3 tsp Marjoram
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • Black pepper - freshly
  • Ground, to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the onion, celery, and garlic over high heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly until they begin to colour. Add all remaining ingredients Cover the pot and simmer gently for 30 minutes. To Serve: Ladle into warm soup bowls and serve piping hot. NOTES: This is a very simple and basic preparation, and an excellent way to create a thrifty meal or first course from small amounts of leftover poultry. It can, of course, be made from scratch by simply using uncooked poultry meat. A tablespoon of blond "roux" mixed with some of the stock and stirred into the soup a few minutes before the simmering is complete adds a silky texture to the dish.
