Grandpa's Garden Chicken Soup
Grandpa's Garden Chicken Soup
water, to cover
½ large onion, chopped
1 stalk celery with leaves, cut into chunks
3 cubes chicken bouillon
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
2 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and diced
2 carrots, sliced
1 large turnip, diced
½ medium head cabbage, chopped
2 ears sweet corn, cut from cob
4 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tomato, chopped
Put chicken pieces in a large stockpot; pour enough water over chicken to cover completely. Add onion, celery, bouillon cubes, basil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper to the pot; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook at a simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 1 hour. Remove and discard celery chunks. Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool; cut as much meat as possible from the bones and chop roughly. Return chicken to stock. Stir potatoes, kohlrabi, carrots, and turnip into the soup; cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add cabbage, corn, green beans, and tomato; cook until the green beans are tender, 7 to 10 minutes more.
