I make my chicken soup with a roasted chicken from Costco,. It’s already cooked, so I just take all the big meat parts off, and put them in the frig. Then I boil the carcas in my pasta pot, with lots of garlic and celery seed, 2 cinnamon sticks and some what not for flavor. When that’s boiled enough, just pull out the inside pasta pot and throw all that away (except I take out the softened garlic and add it back to the broth), then use baby carrots and chopped onion, boil them a while in the broth, at the last add the cut up saved chicken, a box of orzo, chopped napa cabbage and turn it all off and let it just cool. Stir a few times. Everything will cook as the whole thing sits there cooling. Add salt, pepper and cream sherry. That’s my version of chicken soup. This year I have vowed to learn to make pasta. I have a pasta maker my friend got me on Craig’s list. That’s next.
