In Jewish Culture, chicken soup, often referred to as 'Jewish Penicillin' has achieved mythical status. It nurses a cold, relieves a headache and is even said to mend a broken heart. Indeed, there is virtually no ailment a steaming bowl allegedly cannot cure. The idea that chicken soup has curative properties dates back almost a thousand years to when Maimonides (Moshe Ben Maimon), the famous Jewish philosopher and physician prescribed it to 'neutralise body constitution.' Maimonides firmly believed that there were very few illnesses it could not possibly cure. We wouldn't go quite that far, but it certainly has the potential to make you feel a whole lot better.

If you have onion (or leeks, or shallots), carrots, celery, and chicken, then you have chicken soup. I was going to do something else with these three thighs, but suddenly this seemed like such a no brainer and just what I wanted. I put olive oil in the hot pot and threw in the very roughly chopped veg including garlic, and let that cook in the hot oil for a few minutes, moving the vegetables around a bit with a wooden spoon. Added thyme (I used dried), a pinch of ginger, a good amount of salt, some peppercorns, and a bay leaf, the chicken, some water. Use what you have — you can’t go wrong. So simple, but in three hours you'll have something sublime. After the first hour or so I used a slotted spoon to pull out the carrots and chicken so they wouldn't overcook, pulled the meat from the bones and stored shredded chicken and carrots in the fridge. I put the bones back in the soup and let it simmer for another couple of hours.

One of my favorite recipes is titled, “Jewish Penicillin”.  And we made it yesterday.

chicken backs/soup chickens/whatever parts you have on hand; carrots, onions, parsnips, celery, parsley, garlic, salt, water to cover. Simmer for at least two hours.  Remove chicken.  Bring broth to a boil again until it is reduced by about 1/3, to concentrate flavors.  Remove the chicken from the bones, discard bones and return the chicken to the pot.  Let it cool, package your preferred way, and freeze.  When it’s time to enjoy,  defrost the soup, prepare some egg noodles, ladle soup and noodles into a bowl for that perfect winter treat of chicken noodle soup.

Jewish penicillin they call it. Chicken soup. The traditional recipe calls for fresh kosher chicken to be used. I’m using a leftover cooked chicken carcass from Monday nights dinner. Don’t know if it’s kosher or not? Really easy to make. Take a large cooking pot, put into it chopped carrot, parsnip, onion and garlic. I can put in some spring onion, cabbage and swede because they needed using. As a few peppercorns, a couple of bay leaves and some salt. Add your chicken and cover with water. Bring to the boil and then refuse cot a gentle simmer for a couple of hours. Skim off any scum that comes to the top. Once cooked remove the chicken and shreds the meat off the bones. Remove the veg also and put the chicken to one side. Put the bones back in the broth and cook for another hour or so? Remove the bones from the soup and discard. Strain the liquid through a sieve and add some of the veg if you want to? Or add fresh be? Leave to one side and let it cool. The fat will rise to the top so slim that off before serving. #food #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #foodwriter #foodcritic #jewishfood #jewishcooking #jewishpenicillin #soup #chicken #chickensoup #friday #fridaynightdinner #jewishkitchen #rabbi #chickensouprecipe #kosher #koshercooking #kosherfood #homecooking #hommade #foodinfluencer #instainfluencer #foodporn #foodiesofinstagram #tasty #delicious #shalom #shabbat (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pWhJxjlUT/?igshid=rs2z5og7gifo

I just made several dozen matzo balls. How many will be left before our Seder Friday? Should I have it them in the basement fridge, away from curious eyes?! Recipe is in the profile and on my blog — delicious, tender matzo balls. #matzoballsoup #matzoballs #seder #passover #passover2019 #pesach #pesach2019 #jewishpenicillin #chickensoup #jewishholiday #kosher #kosherchickensoup #matzaballsoup #matzaball #matzaballs https://www.instagram.com/p/BwXZt3THIEL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m6d0w9xzhxge

I’m maybe feeling the beginnings of a summer cold, so instead of a pasta project today as I’d hoped, I’m throwing together a chicken pho. . . . #planalittleeatalot #food #prep #pho #phoga #chickenpho #chickennoodlesoup #jewishpenicillin #ricenoodles #cardamom #onion #ginger #staranise #clove #coriander #fishsauce #chickenthighs https://www.instagram.com/p/B14B66ypmV9/?igshid=ed9h30imfmp2
