Classic Jewish Chicken Soup Recipe This might just be the most Jewish video I’ve ever made! 😂 Today we’re making classic Jewish chicken soup, and I’m sharing my secret to getting that beautiful, clear, golden broth packed with incredible flavor! There’s nothing quite like a homemade bowl of chicken soup, especially as the weather starts getting cooler. Whether you’re feeling a little under the weather, making it for Shabbos, or just want your house to smell amazing, this is one recipe everyone should know how to make. And believe me, a few simple steps can make all the difference! Watch the video to find out my secret. 🍲 MY CLASSIC JEWISH CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE Ingredients: * Bone-in, skin-on chicken (enough for a medium pot) * 2 large carrots * 1 onion * Celery (a few stalks) * 1 green squash (zucchini) * Parsnip * Fresh dill * Fresh parsley * A few cloves of garlic * Salt, to taste * Black pepper, to taste * Water * Matzo balls, for serving (optional) Directions: 1. Place the chicken in a pot and add enough water to cover it by about an inch. 2. Bring to a gentle boil. As the foam and impurities rise to the surface, carefully skim them off. Continue for about 20–30 minutes, removing as much as possible. 3. Add the carrots, onion, celery, squash, parsnip, garlic, dill, and parsley. Keep the vegetables in large pieces. 4. Add more water as needed, then season with salt and black pepper. 5. Once everything is in the pot, cook on a low to medium flame at a gentle simmer for about 1–2 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. 6. Here’s the real secret: The longer you let your soup cook, the better the flavor gets! After the initial cooking time, you can leave it on a very low simmer for another couple of hours to really let those flavors develop. Just be careful not to let it boil too hard. You don’t want all that beautiful broth evaporating! 7. To serve, add some chicken and vegetables to a bowl, ladle in that beautiful golden broth, and finish with a matzo ball! A little tip: Keep the skin and bones on the chicken while cooking. They add so much natural flavor to the broth! Stay tuned for my homemade matzo ball recipe in a future video! ⸻ THANKS FOR WATCHING! I really appreciate all your views, comments, and support!
