La soupe du jour

Our secret to getting through the winter months is a broth shot with breakfast every morning. It is something we discovered in Asia although most folk in the west have a grandparent or two who would swear by a good chicken broth to cure ills and chills.

Ingredients 

Bones (from chicken)

Garlic

Leeks

Onions 

Any vegetable leftovers

Thyme & parsley

Chilli

Pepper black

Water 

Fresh coriander leaves to serve. 

Method

Place all the items in a pot and bring to the boil. Skim as required. Simmer gently (slow cooker cook overnight if you have it) for at least three hours. 

When ready let cool and strain the broth. Season to taste and serve with fresh coriander leaves. This broth gives your immune system a terrific boost so would be good all year round and not just for winter.
