about it with your friends let's get started to start let's look at the

vegetables we will use we will use 1 onion 2 ribs of celery and 2 medium

carrots make sure you wash the celery because it can be dirty sometimes next

let's chop our onion you will need to chop the ends of the onion off and then

cut halfway down the middle then you can peel the skin off the onion

you can just throw away everything you cut and peeled off next finish chopping

the onion in half next you can see how I chop the onion here I'm just doing a

rough chop the pieces don't need to be very small for our celery we want to

chop it a bit differently I don't like big chunks of celery so I chop it into

cubes like this this is called cubing so you need to cube the celery like I show

here next our carrots carrots have a skin on them that we don't want to eat

because the texture is bad so we can peel them off using a tool called a

peeler just chop the ends off the carrot and peel the skin off like this again

just throw away the skin it is not important

let's cube this carrot just like we cubed the celery you'll want to do the

same thing chop the carrot in half then chop into smaller long pieces then cube

those pieces congratulations you've prepared our vegetables for this soup

here they are it's important to prepare things before you cook you'll also want

to get your chicken for this recipe I'm using four bone-in chicken thighs these

work well because of the skin bones and fat and the thighs you can also use one

whole chicken let's go see what we'll use to cook with I'm using a medium

sized pot it makes about six servings of soup so it's time to put our chicken

into the pot add the vegetables we prepared into the pot we'll also be

adding two teaspoons or 10 grams of a dried herb called time now you can add

your liquid I'm adding about eight cups or 1.8 liters of water or however much

you need to cover the chicken and fill the pot after this I like to stir it

around a bit just to mix everything together

now we'll turn our heat onto high and leave it on high until the soup starts

to simmer like this we don't want the soup to boil we just want to cook it

very gently stir it a little bit just to make sure everything is okay once the

soup is simmering and not boiling reduce the heat to low like this and cover the

soup with the lid okay we're going to cook the soup like this for one hour you

can check on the soup a few times and stir it a bit but I like to just let it

cook for one hour without touching it so

after one hour your soup should look something like this

you should be able to see the chicken fat on top of the soup and the chicken

should be fully cooked looks great but it's not ready yet

now we're going to remove the chicken from the soup I'm using a tool called

tongs to do this which makes it very easy we move the chicken to a plate and

let the chicken cool down for about 10 to 15 minutes during this time give the

soup another stir and add one half of a teaspoon or 2.5 grams of another dried

herb called marjoram we're building some really great flavor now go ahead and

stir the marjoram I like this next step because it helps

to build the chicken flavor of the soup skim off some of the chicken fat on top

and add it to a small bowl you can see how much I'm skimming off here probably

about 1 cup or 235 milliliters next take one tablespoon or 15 grams of flour and

put it into the fat you skimmed off take a fork and mix these together until it

looks and smells like a chicken gravy this is going to help boost the flavor

of our soup and also make it just a little bit thicker so put the gravy into

the soup and mix together quickly with a whisk you'll start to see that the soup

thickens a little bit let's go back to our chicken which should be cool enough

to handle right now you can see I can just pull the chicken off of the bone

with my hands you'll want to pull all the chicken off and throw away the bones

before we put our chicken back in we should taste the soup we are checking

for the flavor maybe it needs a little bit of salt or pepper

well I tasted mine and it needed both so I added 1 TSP or 5 grams of salt and 1/2

teaspoon or 2.5 grams of black pepper stir the salt and pepper in and I tasted

my soup and it was perfect now it's time to put

our chicken back into the soup just throw it in and stir it around there

you're done you can of course add more ingredients to the soup many people like

to make it spicy this soup is very warm it tastes savory rich and deep in flavor

it reminds me of something my mother would make this is also very healthy you

can also add some cooked noodles to it or some rice I'm going to add both wow

that tastes great I hope you enjoyed today's lesson and recipe the full list

of ingredients can be found in the description where you can find more
