members' comments Popular recipe
Chookie - Didn't have any chicken legs, so used thighs with out bones and added them in the last 10 mins.
Cookie - I didn't have any thighs so used a small chicken breast cut up finely. I also used vegetable stock as once more that was all I had. The chicken broke up and shredded and was lovely. The soup has a wonderful flavour.
Ceee - I tried this one with chicken necks and two legs, used my freshly made (for the first time) vegetable stock concentrate from the EDC and it was lovely, had a really lovely flavour!
CP - tried this again with the leek that I forgot to put in last time. wow! it does make a difference. this soup was even better this time because the last time I chopped the vegies too small and neatly and they were too tiny. I like chunkier better.
earth mumma - The first time I had a problem with the drumsticks getting caught under the blades. I get a little worried about my blade as not too long ago they broke so I tried them in the basket with the veggies and soup mix underneath. It worked fine in the basket - although I did have to tip off some of the liquid - which I poured back in when I added the meat back in. I was able to fit 6 drumsticks in the basket nicely.
cathy79 - Lovely, adaptable recipe. I used different vegies to use up what I had, and what we couldn't eat. Added cauliflower and used silverbeet stalks instead of celery. Excellent cheap meal - 4 drumsticks fed 4 people!
Merlin - Made this and even my husband who is very fussy about food said it was delicious. Also, fantastic way to use up leftover bits of veggies in fridge. The way I cooked it was with leftover roast chicken. I reduced the overall cooking time as the chicken was obviously cooked already and I just deboned the chook and took the skin off. I added the chicken after 15 minutes of cooking time and overall used about 30 minutes cooking time to make sure the vegetables and chicken were well cooked through As I use gluten free pasta I added GF angel hair pasta about 3 minutes before the end of cooking time and the final result was magnificent. Thanks again- I could almost feel the therapeutic benefits of the soup occurring whilst we were all devouring it!
Zan - I made a very similar soup last week. Chopped a clove of garlic, added a small onion and chopped, sauteed, added carrot, celery, zucchini, 1 potato and chopped (just a few seconds, so still some good sized chunks). Added homemade chicken stock, chili flakes, parsley, coriander, soup mix, chicken (cooked shredded). cooked 40 mins, speed 1, reverse, 100 degrees.
KarenH - I used chicken thighs, diced finely and added with 10 minutes left to go. I also added a can of corn kernels at the end - just because the kids love corn - but they are really yummy in the soup.
maddy - Yum. I used 2 carrots, the whole leek and 650g chopped chicken thighs. I added the chicken in for 15 minutes, like instructed by recipe, if using the drumsticks. Added in 3Tbsp. of cornflour with water for last 5 minutes of cooking.
Katiej - it was lovely! Everyone enjoyed it. A great recipe JD, thank you. I was even able to use the turnip I've had for ages, after receiving it in our weekly organic vegie box. I've not a huge turnip fan and never no what to do with them.
Hally - What a great recipe, really delicious and good for the budget. Made this for my lunches for the week.
JulieO - it's delicious! I used 5 chicken drumsticks as that was what I had in my pack. They fit in with no problems. Will def add more veg next time as there's enough liquid to handle it. I also added a cube of Umami paste and a sprinkling of chicken stock granules. Feel like it's done me good.
MF - Loved it and will be a regular in our household. Very tasty.
GF - little surprised that I had all the ingredients on hand. Used three chicken thighs and a parsnip instead of a turnip - but it was just a marvellous soup.
CC - Lovely soup, enjoyed by us all.
ES - I made this with pearl barley and chicken thighs. I chopped the chicken into large chunks which largely stayed intact. I hadn't defrosted the chicken before I started, so the chicken didn't cook in the soup as long as the recipe stated, but it was cooked though. I seasoned it with some celery salt and a few dried herbs. Chicken soup was welcome in our family tonight as we have a good dose of winter coughs and colds.
-
this will be lunch tomorrow i think, but i wish it was today...
-
JD, thanks for this. I will make this to feed the Painters, and they will think it all my own work. ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Don't feed them too well Chookie, they will never want to move onto the next job!
-
Coles didn't have any leeks today, so then I went to Woollies. Got home starving, and thought I would knock up the soup. Five minutes before it finished cooking I saw the leek still sitting there on the bench :o :o :o Still tasted delish but I keep wondering if only.... (next time ;))
-
Oh dear CP63, I think that has happened to most of us at some stage. Was that you I heard cursing ;) ;) ;)
-
Love soups- especially yours JD. The ingredients are always so appealing and now the pictures are just the icing on the cake. :-*
-
Thank you VJ, appreciate the compliment :-* :-*
-
Thanks Judy. This is just what the doctor ordered for DD. We'll be having some to9o of course.
-
Oh yum, thanks! I love soups, this will be my lunch tomorrow. :D
-
Thanks JD - great for our wintery days :-* :-* :-* :-*
CP63 - sounds like a Masterchef moment :-\ :-\
-
Thanks for this healthy and tasty soup JD. I made it yesterday, for tea tonight as we were going to be out all day. Didn't have any chicken legs, so used thighs with out bones and added them in the last 10 mins. By the time it had reheated tonight the thighs were cooked to perfection. The painters will enjoy the rest tomorrow.
-
Glad you enjoyed it Chookie.
-
I made this yesterday and we loved it. I didn't have any thighs so used a small chicken breast cut up finely. I also used vegetable stock as once more that was all I had. The chicken broke up and shredded and was lovely. The soup has a wondereful flavour. Thanks JD. :-*
-
My pleasure Cookie.
-
JD, I have this soup in the TMX now cooking away for dinner and am thinking of putting another one on straight after to freeze. Have you frozen this at all?
-
No I haven't frozen this particular one kezza but it would freeze perfectly well.
-
Thanks JD, thumbs up from everyone on this soup - it was delish.
-
I made this today. A few variations to accomodate what was in the fride but it was very nice.
-
That's the beauty of soups, anything goes. Gee, I must do another pot of this soup, everyone seems to like it and I've forgotten what it even tasted like :-)) :-))
-
Hi I tried this one with chicken necks and two legs, used my freshly made (for the first time) vegetable stock concentrate from the EDC and it was lovely, had a really lovely flavour! :D
-
tried this again yesterday with the leek that i forgot to put in last time. wow! it does make a difference. this soup was even better this time because the last time i chopped the veges too small and neatly and they were too tiny. i like chunkier better.
DS who has hollow legs and never cooks anything said i need to make double the quantity :-))
-
HI JD - thanks for this one. One of the loveliest things about living where it gets cold in winter is soup - my favourite meals :D :D :D Made a batch to take over to some friends in need, it was delicious. Am making another now for our family dinner. The first time I had a problem with the drumsticks getting caught under the blades. I get a little worried about my blade as not too long ago the broke :'( :'( So this time I'm trying them in the basket with the veggies and soup mix underneath. Will let you know how it goes.
-
I must admit I was a little worried about putting the drumsticks in there too earth mumma but I chose the 4 biggest ones from my pack and had no problems. The basket idea is fine, as long as the total contents of the bowl are kept below the maximum level mark. Of course, you can use any cut of chicken for this recipe as has been proven by some of the reviews above. I have 6 smaller legs thawing tonight as I am going to make this again tomorrow.
-
Hi Jd. It worked fine in the basket - although I did have to tip off some of the liquid - which I poured back in when I added the meat back in. I was able to fit 6 drumsticks in the basket nicely. My ds 7yrs declared it was the best soup he's ever had ;D ;D ;D. Will be making this again. Thanks again :-* :-*
-
Lovely, adaptable recipe. I used different vegies to use up what I had, and what we couldn't eat. Added cauliflower and used silverbeet stalks instead of celery.
Excellent cheap meal - 4 drumsticks fed 4 people!
-
I agree Cathy79 - so economiical, and you can easily utilise what is in the fridge and cupboard. I didn't have any problems using the drumsticks when I made mine.
-
The first time I tried this the necks and thighs were in the basket. This weekend I used skinless, boneless thighs and one drumstick and the meat, even though in reverse was turned to threads. I would rather stick to the basket method.
-
:) Hi, I wanted to make chicken soup tonight for a easy dinner.
signed in to this forum, and there was this recipe.
thank you,
it was yummy.
i will make this again, and again.
Robyn
-
Glad you found it and enjoyed it Robyn. Sure is soup weather down here in South Australia.
-
Hi all. I made this about a week ago and absolutely loved it!! I chucked in a large parsnip which probably made it a little sweeter (devine). I was a bit worried about the bone clunking on my blades so I took them out and popped them in the varoma. Worked great. Thanks Judy, this will be a fast favourite of mine (although my girls aged 4 and 1 were not impressed!). Sarah
-
Welcome to the forum Sarah. Hope we hear lots more from you.
-
Thanks cookie! I will certainly be doing a lot of looking in here. I love my machine (had it nearly 2 months) and want to get some more use out of it! Sarah
-
Hi Sarah welcome to the forum. Glad you enjoyed the soup. Keep browsing the recipes here, there are some beauties and I'm sure you will find some the children will like ;) ;)
-
Welcome Sarah - great to see you here. :-* :-* :-* :-* Have fun
-
thanks guys you're all very welcoming!
-
as i've been down with gastro all week dh made this tnoight - it was a huge hit with everyone!
-
Poor you Karen , on top of everything else. I'm sending lots of caring thoughts over. :-* :-*
-
thanks cookie, feeling heaps better today!
-
Awesome soup JD - didn't have any chicken stock so used about 1.5 tbsp of vegetable stock concentrate and 800g water instead. Voted a definite winner by all four of us! Many thanks.
-
Glad you liked it LindyG.
-
Just logged in to forum and saw the chicken and vegie soup come up again. I have this soup cooking at this very moment. It is a real winner with me - I love it JD!
-
Thanks for recipe Judydawn. Made this and even my husband who is very fussy ( read anal) about food said it was delicious. Also, fantastic way to use up leftover bits of veggies in fridge. The way I cooked it was with leftover roast chicken. I reduced the overall cooking time as the chicken was obviously cooked already and I just deboned the chook and took the skin off.

-
Well done Merlin and thanks kezza for your comments a while back too.
-
How on earth did I miss recipe.Soon rectified and now has been printed for future cooking. ;D
-
It's lovely. I often use chicken necks too as DH loves to 'pick the bones.'
-
Sounds like me - most people think there is nothing there - I must be desperate. :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Wow, this looks yum!!! will have to do this one next week though as we just had chicken and sweet corn soup yesterday and i am currently doing a Chicken and Choko soup for tomorrow.. so i think i might be souped out for a lil while ;D
-
I saw some chokos in the market the other day Sarah and wondered what they could be used for. Is it a nice vegetable?
-
Made this on the weekend delish used thigh fillets about 380 grams instead of drumsticks yummo
-
THANKYOU Judy!! I have had my TMX now for probably 3 and a bit weeks and this soup is the first time my husband has genuinely said he has liked anything I have made it. Normally he is always very complementary of my cooking so I have been becoming very discouraged. My eldest son also commented that it was yummy. So thankyou!
-
That's great news Shazzy, finally. I think it does take a while to get used to Thermomix food, I know I was like that myself. My Goulash soup is a nice thick soup, men love that one. Have you made the Butter Chicken from the Indian book (it is on the forum too) - DH would have to like that surely, the flavours are lovely. How about the sausage recipes - all men love sausages. Keep at it, you will win him over eventually.
-
Thanks Judy I will give the goulash soup a go. Yes tried the butter chicken and it was nice but as I said this is the first one he said he really liked and that I should make it again!
-
Keep feeding him Shazzy, it took my DD a while to say she liked quite a few things.
-
this is 10/10, and a regular with our family over winter especially
-
Made this for lunch today Judy and it was a winner in every respect. Thank you for another great JD dish - 10/10 from all diners. :) :)
-
Gee, 10/10 twice, must be a good recipe. thanks girls. Will make sure I do it again soon ;)
-
I made a very similar soup last week (maybe I should read on here more often, lol)
Chopped a clove of garlic, added a small onion and chopped, sauted, added carrot, celery, zucchini, 1 potato and chopped (just a few seconds, so still some good sized chunks). Added homemade chicken stock, chili flakes, parsley, coriander, soup mix, chicken (cooked shredded). cooked 40 mins, speed 1, reverse, 100 degrees.
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Voz6j0vAlEw/TdYwaxgy5QI/AAAAAAAABY0/XSrqafred_w/s320/200511.jpg)
Thought I'd post in case any of the ingredients I used appeal to anyone.
Was a real winner, so must try JD's version too soon.
-
Looks good Zan - I love any type of chicken soup :D
-
Made this yesterday for lunch, and am enjoying leftovers for lunch again today ;D What a gorgeous soup! I used chicken thighs, diced finely and added with 10 minutes left to go. I also added a can of corn kernels at the end - just because the kids love corn - but they are really yummy in the soup.
Another 10/10 from me JD. Thanks!
-
Had this for dinner tonight :-* yum thanks Judy.
(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_5420.jpg)
sorry, steam kept fogging up the pic :P
I used 2 carrots, the whole leek and 650g chopped chicken thighs.
I added the chicken in for 15 minutes, like instructed by recipe, if using the drumsticks.
Added in 3Tbsp. of cornflour with water for last 5 minutes of cooking.
-
Looks good maddy. Thanks for the review.
-
We had this for dinner last night and it was lovely! Everyone enjoyed it. A great recipe JD, thank you :)
I was even able to use the turnip I've had for ages, after receiving it in our weekly organic vegie box. I've not a huge turnip fan and never no what to do with them.
-
I only ever use turnip (and swedes) in soups or casseroles - DH would not be impressed if I served it as a side vegie as he was served them up as a child and hated them. Glad you found a way to use yours Katie.
-
Just made this.
What a great recipe, really delicious.
Made this for my lunches for the week, but have a feeling the boy hie into this too.
Well done great recipe Judy and good for the budget.
Happy Hally :D
-
It certainly is the right weather for soup!
-
Sure is, DH & DS loved it.
DH said it was one of my best.
DS wants you Judy to come over for a cook off. I told him you would win easy. Also told him all flights were grounded so no chance!LOL ;D
Thanks again, a family fave on a cold winters night. Oh yes and Cobb loaf rose really well, that tasted good too.
Hally :)
-
This is delicious. I used thigh fillet too as I am not a fan of drumsticks. I thought the cooking time might be a bit long, but the meat was tender. I will definately have this one as a family favourite on these cold winter nights!
THanks for sharing this recipe! :)
-
:D :D I don't know about that Hally, you are going great guns over there.
Hi amanda68, welcome to the forum. Glad you enjoyed the soup, it does seem a long time to cook the soup but the soup mix really needs that long. It is versatile in that you can use pretty well any cut of chicken although I wouldn't use the fillet. What else have you been making, have you only just got your TMX? Pop over to Introduce Yourself and let us all welcome you ;)
-
Thanks for this recipe Judy. Made for a very tasty early dinner last night before heading out. As we had already eaten the batch of rolls I made earlier in the day (!!!) I soaked some rice stick noodles in boiling water and served the soup over these - made for a delightful and filling meal. Cheers, Lainie
-
Great idea Lainie, glad you enjoyed it. Home made rolls do seem to do a disappearing trick don't they ;) That's why I put mine straight into the freezer when they cool down.
-
Will make this tonight to go as an entree before pizza (ds's pizza is plain jane being failsafe and dairy/soy free).
Although, no chicken, and not venturing out in this awful weather, so I am sure I will miss out on that extra chicken flavor, but should still work out fine though! :D
-
This was beautiful JD, made a few adjustments for a failsafe version, which my ds adored. First soup he has actually eaten! He loved dipping the bread in, the joys of a 2yo discovering new things :D
-
LeeJ, I love 2 year olds and sharing the joys of discovering new foods with them. I cut up a persimmon for my little almost 3yr old GS the other day to have a try, thinking he wouldn't like it and I would have it all to myself. Not the case, he ate most of it and then told me I could have a piece too :D I think when you tell them they won't like something it works ;)
-
:D I think you are right the JD, there are some things he flat out won't have a bar of, for heavens knows what reason most of time. But if Daddy eats it, it's almost a given that ds will ;) Seems he's picked up his fathers' dis-taste for 'salad' too though :-)) :-))
It is an adorable age, we are yet to hit 'terrible twos', so enjoying it while it lasts :D
-
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 :)
-
Thanks Lindy, glad you like it - a very versatile recipe.
-
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.
-
Judy I only have one word to say to you.
Delicious ;D
This soup was so so good. I had half a bowl of chicken soup and half a bowl of pumpkin soup with 2 dinner rolls. Yum yum. Im So full thanks JD.
-
Feed the sick kids up on it Mandi :-* :-*
-
Yes, this is a great winter soup ;D
H :)
-
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.
-
Is it that good CP, gee I must try it again ;D
-
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 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1057.0) is like that too :-)) Used to making big stock pots of them in the past.
-
Is it that good CP
YEP :D
-
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 :-*
-
It is my favourite soup of all time CP, lovely for guests because generally no-one has ever had it before.
-
that is good enough for me ;D ;D ;D
-
My first soup for the year, it was so nice, just about over salads come on winter I'm ready for you lol
-
I made this earlier today Judy and it's delicious! I used 5 chicken drumsticks as that was what I had in my pack. They fit in with no problems. Will def add more veg next time as there's enough liquid to handle it. I also added a cube of Umami paste and a sprinkling of chicken stock granules. Feel like it's done me good. :D
(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii26/ragdoll128/New%20Savoury/IMG_1994.jpg)
-
That's what chicken soups does Julie, a good all round pick-me-up meal. Your photos make our recipes look sooo good ;)
-
Thanks Judy, you are such a sweetheart. :D
-
Judy do you think I could use chicken wings instead if drumsticks? Or do think they will get stuck under the blades whilst cooking :P Found a couple of packets in the freezer. ;D
-
I've never tried them CC but if you cut them into 2 pieces and discard the tip, it might work. Would they be too fatty though? You might have to refrigerate the soup overnight so that you could remove the fat once it has set..
-
Thanks Judy :-* :-* I'll skim the fat once cooked and cooled ;)
-
Many thanks, JD - both DS and I are feeling very poorly this evening - seeing who can outsneeze the other!! :-)) :-)) Was trying to find something soothing and nourishing and found this - :D Going to cook it up now!
-
I do hope the soup makes you both feel better gf.
-
Made this soup today as all feeling low with flu virus. We all know the benefits of chicken soup and this one hit the mark for taste and feel good benefits. Loved it and will be a regular in our household. Very tasty :)
-
Loved your chicken and veggie soup Judy but you also mention your goulash soup. My husband loves goulash soup so can you please tell me where to find your recipe? My DH could live on soups, curry and casseroles no matter what the weather. I guess that's because we were born and raised in the beautiful Scottish weather.....Lol ;D
-
Here tis (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1057.0) MF. JD has probably gone to bed by now as she is 2hrs in front.
Please forgive me from a previous post a couple of weeks ago (I have apologised privately), as there was a mistaken identity :-* :-* :-*
-
I do hope the soup makes you both feel better gf.
It did, JD - many thanks - also a little surprised that I had all the ingredients on hand. Used three chicken thighs and a parsnip instead of a turnip - but it was just a marvelous soup. Will be making more over the weekend - :D This is the first cold/fluey thing I've had this season, and it's a doosey . . >:(
-
Hope to make this when back at home. Being ill in a holiday house is not easy!
-
Thanks for that CP I look forward to making it. No worries about the mistaken identity thing as I fully understand now how it came about. At the time I was totally bewildered but looking back now I can see exactly how it happened. :oI just put my tuppence worth in at the wrong time. No harm done and Happy Cooking. ;D Loving my TMX and can't imagine it not being in my kitchen already.
-
It's supposed to be 38 here today but DD said she felt like soup and DH agreed. Therefore I have the air con on and this is cooking.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/21/avyhy7yh.jpg)
-
We had this for dinner tonight and loved it thanks. My daughter said it is the best soup yet and she is hard to please :)
-
Thanks charlieboy, I love hearing that children like soup - some won't have a bar of it.
-
I made this on Saturday but we ate it yesterday.Lovely soup Judy, enjoyed by us all. ;D
My pulses need presoaking :-)) and because I was afraid they would harden if cooked in the initial hour so I added a tablespoon chicken stock paste in the final 15 minutes of cooking ;)
-
I loved this soup, but my pulses were not cooked, next time I will soak them over night.
-
Good idea GHM, I have added that to the recipe.
-
Bumping . .Making this today . . ;D
-
Thanks for bumping this Goldfish I made it for dinner tonight with pearl barley and chicken thighs. I chopped the chicken into large chunks which largely stayed intact. I hadn't defrosted the chicken before I started, so the chicken didn't cook in the soup as long as the recipe stated, but it was cooked though. I seasoned it with some celery salt and a few dried herbs.
Chicken soup was welcome in our family tonight as we have a good dose of winter coughs and colds. To top it off, my fussy DS who is not fond of soup actually enjoyed it and finished his whole bowl. :) :) :)
There was a little left over, so I have popped in into containers for the freezer so I will have some easy lunches for work.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/27/he6ususa.jpg)
-
Chicken soup is perfect for your ailments ES and to hear DS actually ate and enjoyed it was music to my ears. So many kids won't eat soup and it would be so good for them.
-
Judy - thanks for this recipe! It's a favourite - but tonight I didn't have turnip, celery so doubled up the zucchini and carrot, used 1 litre of water with 1 Tblsp vegetable stock and red lentils. - a lovely soup yet again and ideal for taking to work tomorrow for lunch! :D
-
Thanks GF, soups are great - you can add anything.
