Ingredients
1kg/2lb 4oz chicken wings
100g/3½oz unsalted butter
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 large carrots, finely chopped
1 small head of celeriac, finely chopped
250g/9oz button mushrooms, finely sliced
200ml/7fl oz dry white wine
bouquet garni (thyme, bay leaf and celery leaves)
4 whole star anise
3 sticks of celery, finely sliced
3 leeks, finely sliced
a small piece of fresh ginger
salt and freshly ground black pepper
large bunch of fresh parsley
Method
1. Put the chicken wings into a casserole, pour over cold water just to cover and bring to the boil on a high heat. As soon as the water boils, skim off any impurities that may have risen to the surface, lift out the wings and cool them under running water. Pat dry.
2. On a medium heat, melt the butter, add the chicken wings, onions, garlic, carrots, celeriac and mushrooms, and cook for 15 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, pour in the wine, bring to the boil and reduce by half. Pour over cold water to cover by 5cm/2 inches, bring to the boil and skim off any impurities that may have risen to the surface. Add the bouquet garni and star anise, and simmer very gently for 30 minutes.
4. Add the celery, leeks and ginger and continue simmering very gently for another 15 minutes. Turn off the heat; season if necessary, add the parsley and leave to stand for 20 minutes.
5. Strain the soup through a fine-meshed sieve and then, if you have some, muslin. It can be eaten straight away, or left to cool and kept in an airtight container in the fridge
here you go, good old chicken soup

Easiest soup ever and really yummy-potato soup
half a pound of bacon cut in small pieces, fry it and take it out of the pot. Leave a tablespoon or so of the bacon fat in it.
Add a large chopped onion, 2 stalks of celery chopped small, and 1 large carrot chopped small. (cut them in half lengthwise, and then in small dices)
Fry them for a minute or 2 until the onions are softened.
Add 2 garlic cloves smashed up
a teaspoon or so of thyme, salt and pepper.
4 or 5 regular russet potatoes that are washed and cut into bite sized pieces.
put 2 chicken or veg oxo cubes in a cup of warm cream to dissolve and add to the pot
cover with cream and boil until the potatoes are soft.
Use the bacon for garnish, with cheddar cheese if you want.
The longest part is cooking the bacon, but it is sooo good. I make it alot.
Just wanted to add, that when I do this, I use a pint and a half of 18% coffee cream. You can also cut it with milk if you need, but it won’t be as thick.
For lentil soup your looking at WAY over half hour time for cooking. The lentils take a long time to soften.

I like doing a taco soup. I brown ground beef, then usually make the rest in a crockpot, but you’d be fine doing it on the stove top, everything just needs enough time to heat up. You can add corn, olives, canned tomatoes, taco seasoning, bell peppers, beef broth. And its great when you top it off with tortilla slices, cheese and sour cream. The great thing about this is there is no specific recipe and you can add or leave out things. You can also make it thicker like a casserole or use the broth to make it more like a soup.

Any soup can be simple. Just start adding, when I make lentil soup here is how I like to do it.
Get some bulk ground sausage, and roll it into balls, set aside. **You can small than a gum ball, if you are in the states think the size of a Gobstopper.
Chop up about 1/2 onion, 1 stalk celery, 1 good sized cloves gar;ic, and one carrot.
In a sauce pan heat but a tiny bit of oil, Add the sausage balls and when they are almost all done add the veggies.Saute for just a few more minutes and add chicken broth and the lentils and simmer away.
Adjust seasonings to taste and enjoy.
***The sausage balls will not stay perfect it just is a nice size to eat with the sasusages.
Seasonings I like to add are garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, pepper, seasoned salt, celery salt, etc….
Sorry it’s nothing exact, soup is just fun to make becuase it doesn’t have to be precise.

Here’s a very simple soup my husband and kids like. And I still make it to this very day, even though it is now just my husband and I. I have no name for it.
1 pound of ground beef — 96/4 or something close to it. Why?? So it won’t be greasy as regular hamburger has a lot of fat in it. This one is very low in fat.
1 can of whole kernel corn – do “not” drain
1 can of sliced green beans – do “not” drain
5 potatoes- peeled and cut into quarters, then quarter again. (depending upon the size of the potatoe)
3-5 Beef Bouillon cubes (add more later, when it’s done cooking, if you want more flavor)
Break up the ground beef so it’s small pieces. This will fall apart more in the pan during cooking phase. Just put everything else into a large 5 quart pan or what is commonly called a dutch oven, with the hamburger. Place on medium heat and cook until potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
The juice from the corn and green beans as well the bouillon cubes will flavor the soup. I do not add salt because there is already salt in the vegetables and the bouillon. Also, by using the entire contents of the canned vegetables, you are using their nutrients to their fullest rather pouring them down the drain. Thus making it a healthier soup.
Hope this helps. And this can be done in about 30 minutes.
