Costco has a great price for roasted Chickens, and I save the carcass with a little of the meat to throw in a huge pot for soup makings. Having a bulb of roasted garlic, I throw in half of it mashed into the pot with 8 cups of stock (chicken, vegetable, or homemade). Two pealed and coarsely chopped parsnips, one rutabaga, and one turnip to boil.
Sautéed in my cast iron pan is one onion sliced thinly, 4 coarsely cut carrots, 3 chopped celery stalks, 1 poblano pepper . When soft and translucent, add spices: 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, handful of dried fresh herbs thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and red pepper. For the few minutes the spices begin to smell real good, add a pealed, grated fresh apple. Then, toss it all into the chicken pot.
BOIL at least an hour. Longer only makes it tastier. Enjoy on these cold winter evenings with a crusty piece of bread.
