Another winner from JD!  This soup is the best I have ever made.  Was driving everyone at work nuts with my enthusiasm about it!
The kids weren't so keen, but that just means more for me ;)
I don't like bones, so used skinless, defatted thigh fillets... Prob around 1/2 a kg.
Can't eat leeks, so subbed spring onion.
Just lovely and so filling.  I will probably use less chicken next time.

This is just the best soup - have made it so many times now and it's always a winner with everyone - thanks JD!  I usually don't have a leek on hand so just use an onion and use Vege Stock Paste and 800g water instead of chicken stock.  Delicious  :)

Yes JD, thanks for this recipe. I combine it with the brown rice chicken soup recipe. It's nice having the flavor from the bones.

I make this soup a lot and use up whatever  cuts of chicken I have eg drumsticks, thigh fillets, breasts, tenderloins etc.  I just vary the cooking time depending in wht the of chicken meat I'm using ie longer for thigh fillets than breast meat etc.I also throw in whatever vegies I have to use up eg corn cobs cut up, broccoli florets etc and the kids seem to eat it no whatever I throw in,especially if I put in some green split peas instead of soup mix.

its a shame that we don't have a "like" system in this forum where if you get a certain amount of likes for a recipe (as in tried and true) that it doesn't get a special something to highlight. This would be one of those Golden recipes.

I had to take out a little liquid as the TM was full to the brim and trying to over flow :)

Yes, my Goulash soup is like that too :-))  Used to making big stock pots of them in the past.

Second that CP, I don't often make soup as usually the kids are not that keen, but tonight those who tried it just loved it. Will be a regular for us (and it really is a cheap and healthy meal)
5/5 Judy.

I have your Goulash Soup printed into my "special" book, so I will need to make up cos if you make it regularly I may just need to do myself a flavour favour  :-*
