Chicken Soup Without the Chicken

Both me and P are feeling slightly under the weather today so I made a chicken soup that turned out pretty well. P thought it made his stomach feel better after having it, so something must be working. This is what went into it.


CHICKEN SOUP WITHOUT THE CHICKEN

Ingredients
1 litre chicken broth
1 leek
3 onions
5 potatoes
Butter
Thyme
1 bay leaf
1 cup milk
1 tbsp cornstarch
Spring Onions

  1. Cut up everything into small cubes.
  2. Saute the onions and leeks in butter until soft.
  3. Season the onions and leeks with some thyme.
  4. Combine the Chicken broth, soft onions, leeks, potato, and bay leaf in a large pot.
  5. Bring to a boil.
  6. Allow it to simmer for as long as you can humanly bear to wait / or when potatoes are soft.
  7. Prepare the milk and cornstarch in a seperate cup and stir it well.
  8. When potatoes are soft enough to spontaneously turn into mush, pour in the milk/cornstarch and stir.
  9. Simmer for a while more until you can't wait to eat it anymore and then serve with garnish of spring onions.
