Fresh from the market to your door

New Blueberry Supplier, Broccoli on Special; My favourite Soup

August 29, 2020

The blueberry season up north is starting to ramp up, the weather has settled down, and the quality of blueberries has improved greatly.

I used a new supplier late last week, and I was very pleased with the quality.

Broccoli is a winter vegetable, and is currently in season, the quality is good, as is the price.

My favourite all time soup, is Chicken & Pearl Barley Soup.

It contains Pearl Barley, which I have added to our legume selection for this coming week.

This is the recipe:

Ingredients:

2 large onions

1/2 to a whole celery

8 to 10 small to medium chicken legs

A bunch of parsley, salt and pepper to taste

1 cup pearl barley (or a bit more)

Chicken stock

Method:

Saute the two large onions, then add the chopped celery, salt and pepper in a large soup pot.

Lightly pan fry the chicken legs in oil with salt and pepper. Remove chicken from pan, and remove the skin.

Cook the pearl barley in a separate small pot with water for about 20 minutes (or until soft), then strain the pearl barley.

Add the chicken legs, chopped parsley and cooked pearl barley (1 to 1.5 cups) to the large soup pot which contains the sauted onions and celery.

Fill the pot up with water and chicken stock, bring to the boil, and simmer for 90 minutes.

Once cooked, remove the chicken legs and debone, adding the chicken meat back in the pot (also discard the grizzle from bones and give to pets)

* MAKE SURE you REMOVE the long thin chicken bone that runs parallel to the leg (so if you used 10 chicken legs, make sure to count the ten sharp bones)

Add extra parsley, celery and pepper to taste.

Sounds a bit involved, but well worth the trouble

Have a good week.

Cheers,

Michael
