Re: Chicken soup

I do it for 6 to 8 hours. I think it has something to do with getting all the really healthy stuff out of the bones in the chicken. That can take a while. Someone linked this here a while ago, and it's where I go to for my broth recipes now. It's got a lot of information on what's good about broth and how to make it: http://www.westonaprice.org/Broth-is-Beautiful.html

Hi I'd like to ask does everyone simmer there chicken soup for 4 hrs like the instructions say as my mother seems to think you don't Have to do it this long and I keep telling her you do coz it needs to be done exactly right thanks mark

Mark,I do it for 4 hours or longer. It's not just the chicken and carrots you're cooking. It's also the bones from the chicken, and the longer you cook them the more you get out of them. You're sort of making a bone broth to go with your chciken soup which happens to be a great anti-inflammatory. If this is for intro remember to skim off most of the fat from the top before you puree the carrots back in. You do this because you want to get as simple as possible, and sometimes at the beginning our bodies have problems with fats. So, we start slow.Hope this helps!-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 8 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 12 pills a day Prednisone 40mg entocort With vit E mixed inBack to intro/stage 1 for now.To: BTVC-SCD From: markscd26@...Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2010 03:36:54 +0000Subject: Chicken soup

Yes... the longer you cook it the more healthy and healing minerals and nutrients the broth will have. Adding a little apple cider vinegar to the water at the beginning can help pull the yummy goodness out of the bones too (remember high school chemistry when vinegar pulled the calcium out of an egg so the shell ended up rubbery?)

Here's a great doctoral thesis from one of our listmates here. Great information on the many healing properties of brothhttp://www.townsendletter.com/FebMarch2005/broth0205.htm

And of course Westin Price's Broth is Beautiful is great too

Hi Mark

The 4 hour-plus recipe is for a bone broth, and not chicken soup. For the

calcium extraction and for the anti-inflammatory effect, you do need to simmer

it for at least 4 hours. There is no harm in letting it simmer for more hours -

I think some even let it simmer for 24 hours!

There are other broths you can make after the Intro diet, or if the

chicken/carrot combination is not working for you. Any animal bones work well,

or you could use them in combination. The only right recipe is one which works

for you and which you like to consume. You can also make a broth from fish

bones, but I don't know whether a long simmer is the right approach when dealing

with them.

Hope this helps,

I'm not really contributing much here to the topic, but I will say that this chicken soup is like a magic bullet for me. I was feeling God awful yesterday from eating illegal deli meat and made some of this -- after a few bowls, I could literally feel the inflammation decreasing and my stomach seemed more at ease.

I'm going to have this stuff once a week.__________________________________________________________________CDSCD 6 monthsLialda, PurinetholFreeda Vitamins, L. Acidophilus, Cod Liver Oil, S.BoulardiiSymptoms finally improving

I kept chicken soup in the refrigerator all the time the first six months of the diet as a go to if I wanted a snack or something soothing.  You could always remove the chicken, make it into salad then add a fresh roasted chicken to the soup.  I like to just drink a cup of stock sometimes too.  Just strain it out, either a cup or strain everything, toss it and just drink the stock..

 

It seems to work for me also as long as I stick to the basic recipe and don't get too creative--even though sometimes creative is fun but not for when you feel bad.

Hi Mark

The chicken soup will last in the fridge for a few days, and freezes

beautifully. A few tips:

The broth will last longer in the fridge if you cook the soup, let it cool, then

strain the solids out of the liquid (I put a large bowl in the sink, put a large

colander in it, the slowly tip the soup into it. Lift colander, and when its

all strained, rest the colander on the pot). If you want to skim off the fat,

then it will solidify on top of the soup when it is cold and you can just peel

it off.

You can bring the broth to a boil and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes every

couple of days if you would like it to last longer in the fridge.

Or you can freeze it, either in ice cube trays (when frozen, pop out the cubes

and store them in a ziploc bag), or in jars (I use leftover honey jars a lot -

use a fairly fine mesh strainer, a funnel, either a regular one or a canning

one, and a soup ladle to make this process faster and less messy). You can

freeze both salted or unsalted broth (freezing it unsalted means you don't have

to worry about too salty a dish when you add it to something else).

Frozen broth is extremely useful. You can defrost it in the microwave, under

warm/hot running water or in a container of warm water (careful not to crack the

glass jar), or just on your countertop or in the fridge. It will keep for a

very long time (months) in the freezer. If you don't have that much freezer

space, you can even reduce the broth by first straining it very well through a

fine mesh strainer, then letting it simmer in a clean pot with no lid on until

its as concentrated as you would like - this will take some time, but should

have a close eye kept on it.!
