Equipment
- Large stock pot
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Chicken
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 3 onions roughly chopped
- 1 bulb fennel roughly chopped
- 6 carrots peeled and roughly chopped
- 6 cloves garlic peeled
- 4 bay leaves
- Few sprigs fresh thyme
- Few sprigs fresh rosemary
- A large handful fresh parsley
- Sea salt and black pepper
Instructions
- First, wash your chicken before putting it into your biggest stock pot. Fill the pot with cold water, just enough to cover the bird, before adding the red wine vinegar. Bring to the boil, then leave to simmer for 45 minutes. Skim the froth from the top, before removing the chicken.
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred all the meat from the bird using a fork. It may not be completely cooked through yet – this is perfectly normal.
- Next, return the chicken carcass to the stock pot, and add the onions, fennel, carrots, garlic, and herbs (except the parsley). Return to the heat, cover, and simmer for another couple of hours.
- Fifteen minutes before serving, return the shredded chicken back to the soup. When fully cooked through, serve in soup bowls garnished with the fresh parsley.
