Monday, January 16, 2006 - Chicken Broth

Posted in Home Cooking
We did something very "homestead-ish" this weekend - my husband butchered two of our chickens, and I cleaned them up and stewed them. I almost like the broth that chicken makes more than the chicken itself! I just love homemade soups made with fresh, homemade chicken broth. It is tops! Lots of onions, carrots, celery, and whatever else is on hand...I'd like to dip into the pot of leftover soup in the fridge right now, and it's almost midnight!

This quote is too good not to share (I found this in Nourishing Traditions, by Sally Fallon):

Why is chicken soup superior to all the things we have, even more relaxing than "Tylenol?" It is because chicken soup has a natural ingredient which feeds, repairs, and calms the mucous lining in the small intestine. This inner lining is the beginning or ending of the nervous system. It is easily pulled away from the intestine through too many laxatives, too many food additives...and parasites. Chicken soup...heals the nerves, improves digestion, reduces allergies, relaxes and gives strength.   Hanna Kroeger Ageless Remedies from Mother's Kitchen

That sounds so good- I haven't yet had fresh chicken I don't think in my whole life. We are probably going to raise a few broilers this year and I am so excited! I have made broth from fresh pheasant before and it was the best I've ever had.

I'm just going to have to cook me up some chicken soup now! Sally Fallon's book is amazing...I borrowed it from my bil a while back, and really want to buy my own copy.
Your blog is lovely...I enjoyed visiting!
