Yesterday I posted I needed to make made from scratch chicken noodle soup for a very sick friend Margaret Chaffin and her husband Jim. Jim is staying home taking good care of her. Margaret as you know is a cancer patient again for the second time in two years for two separate illnesses.
This morning Cindy and I set out to make chicken soup per lowercase bill. Thanks lowercase bill!
I was going to make some real potato rolls from a recipe I got from Grandpas Grub but, I think I will do that tomorrow. Thanks Kent
We picked up 2 2.5 pound chicks and I riped the skin off of one so it would take on some smoke flavor per Jethro Bodine. Thanks Stikeman.
I dusted them with Tasty Licks Mellow Yellow. Good stuff. I grilled them till the breast came to 180F IT.
Then I took them straight to the stock pot with a couple of gallons of H20 and carrots and celery and onions and a little S&P.
We simmered until the meat began to fall off the bone about 3 hours.
Then we took everything out of the stock pot and took the chicken off the bones and tossed the used up veggies.
We divided the chicken stock about 2 quarts each and made a batch of plain chicken noodle soup with a few carrots for my friend who need to eat this nourishment.
Right after I took the chicks off the egg I setup for searing hamburgers for my friend Jim.
I grilled 8 and took Jim 4 with buns.
Next we turned to Village Idiot for a Chicken and dumpling recipe. Thanks Village Idiot.

Let me tell you this stuff is great! :P
We added 2 quarts to our 2 quarts and made some dumplings along with the chicken and carrots and celery and onions and garlic...
I rolled out the dough and sliced the dough with my pizza cutter.
And plunked them in to the simmering chicken soup.
Here is one of 4 bowls I ate. This stuff is better than anything... :P :P :P
I couldn't believe how good this stuff is. :woohoo: :pinch: :silly:

Thanks. It was a big hit and they were sooo grateful. It made me greateful also.

Thanks I did tell them today when Cindy and I delivered it that we all were praying for her. I get very humble talking about it.

I guess it is unanimous that it reminds of Grandmas chicken soup with my first reply 8 seconds after Woodbutcher with the same thoughts! LOL!BGE'er since 1996 Large BGE 1996, Small BGE 1996, Mini BGE 1997

The world would be a better place if it had more people like you.
Not sure about it being like "grandmas," but it sure looks like what my granny used to make. -

Tim,
Looks like the soup turned out great. I am sure your friends are very greatful
Now this comment has me a bit puzzled...
"Right after I took the chicks off the egg I setup for searing hamburgers for my friend Jim.

What happened to the other 4 burgers? Surely you didn't eat those plus the 4 bowls of dumplings :ohmy: -
It was way good Barry. way good. :P
-
Richard why do you think they call me 2Fategghead? :laugh:
Just kidding I ate one burger to make sure it wouldn't make Jim sick. :laugh: and saved the rest for tonight. -
WOW!! You are a true friend.
I have made gallons of chicken soup and never thought of precooking the chicken on the egg first then boiling. No scum to skin and no straining the liquid .
BTW the basic stock is a jump off point for several other soups that I make, slippery pot pie, tortilla soup and caldo tlalpeno.
Here is a good recipe for the clado tlalpeno:

This started out sounding like one of those 7th grade math problems.
Tim leaves Nashville at 6:38am on a train going 38mph with 8 hamburgers. Thirty minutes later, Jim leaves Knoxville on a train ....... "__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -
Thanks Joan. I must admit I knew nothing about making chicken soup until the other day when I asked for help. This forum has definitely enabled Cindy and I.
Thanks for your help as well. Tim -
:laugh: Hey Gary. I just want to say thanks for the chicken and dumplings recipe because we just loved it and the dumplings. Thanks again for your help. Tim
-
Kudos on a great cook!
You friends are in great hands with you and Cindy
Chicken and dumplings are about the best comfort food around, so share some of that, too -
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Did I read that correctly...
ate 4 bowls! Must have been real good.
Nice write up and thanks for posting.
Kent -
home made chicken soup has to be the best comfort food going, universal fan favorite, winter or summer......nice touch on the home made douplings.

Great post Tim
The soup looks amazing
A very nice thing your doing for your sick friend
Lots of good karma for you and yours
Shane -
Very nice, Tim and Cindy. That is a labor of love, for sure.
Did you really egg the chicken to 180 in the breast? Or is that a typo. Just wondered, cause of the 3 hours of boiling afterward.Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!
