Re: Chicken soup

February 19, 2010

I'm a little confused by reading your msg. To me it sounds like your cooking the meat and the bones seperate? I take a whole fresh chicken and put it in the crock pot covered half way with water. You can fry up the heart/liver if you want and eat it if you like it. I put the neck in with the chicken to give the broth more flavor. Cook it all day long on low and if you can fit the carrots in there, then do that as well. If not, steam them separate. Seperate as much of the meat from the bones/skin as you can and put it in a pot/bowl. Then, in a blender take the broth and carrots and puree them together. After this I dump the puree mixture onto the meat from the chicken and cook that together for a little while. maybe an hour. Add salt to taste and nothing else at first. The first time I made chicken soup I put way too much salt in it. Very tastey but I needed to drink so much water all day!Hope this helps!BTW, don't get discouraged if you don't see results for a while. Everyone is different. I've been on SCD for 8+ months and I honestly can't tell you if it's helping me or not, but it's more than just a diet.

Hi everyone,

First, I have the pleasure of telling you that my son has agreed to start the diet on Sunday!!!!!!!! Unfortunately it's because he feels pretty bad right now--the Lord works in mysterious ways doesn't he. :-)

Anyway...I did make the soup a few weeks ago just to try it. It turned out pretty bland. I know we can use salt, can we also use other spices or is that a no no for the intro.? Also, I assume the chicken is placed in the soup to extract flavor (I use the legs and thighs), but it ends up pretty chewy after cooking for 4 hours. Will the broth end up flavorless if I make the chicken in the oven and add it maybe an hour before the broth is done?

His D. is quite bad right now (pretty much all blood)so I know we should not do the eggs yet or the yogurt. I'm sort of flipping out about what I can give this, pretty much always hungry, 17 yo.

I am so excited y'all!!

Thanks,

Sherry

Will the broth end up flavorless if I make the chicken in the oven and add it maybe an hour before the broth is done? My method is to bake a whole chicken in the oven with some butter and marjoram, and eat some as a meal when it comes out of the oven since it's nice and hot and crispy. Then, I pick the meat off the bones (make sure to bake it long enough so this is easy to do; I bake it for about 1.5 hours) and put the remains (skin, bones, gristle, etc...) in the crockpot overnight with some ACV (apple cider vinegar- for drawing minerals out of the bones), carrots, celery, and herbs. The next morning, I strain the broth, and then can either use it in a soup, where you can just add back the chicken you picked last night and some veggies/herbs, or I freeze it in ice cube trays. When its frozen, I can pop it out and store it in a baggie to use whenever I need it in recipes, or just for drinking straight.HTH, and congrats on being able to start the diet!!

Hi

No, I would put the thighs and legs right in with the water,carrots,etc. It's

just that the last time I made the soup the chicken pieces that I took off the

bones and put back into the soup were quite chewy and my son was none too

thrilled with the taste.

I made it on the stove so maybe I will try to do your crock version. Thank you

for responding.

I wish you the best on the diet too. I've been reading your posts and I give you

so much credit for sticking with it. I agree that this does offer hope and sure

is a much better thing to try than a new med. (although they have their place as

well).

Best of health to you--God Bless

Sherry
