Ladies, do not read this, this is a sexist posting!
There are 2 kinds of chicken soup, the Ladies version, a can of 100% fat free chicken stock, you know, where they don't even make the chicken use soap, just what soaks off their feet as they wade through, put a 6 0z can of chicken with this, bring to a boil, add rice or noodles, cook until tender, serve with toast fingers and a sprinkle of parsley on top.
THEN, there is Men's chicken soup!
Put a whole chicken in a 4qt. pot with salt, pepper, onion and celery, simmer until done, remove chicken, strain stock.
Remove skin and bones from chicken ,cut meat in 1" dice, set aside.
Place 4 peeled potatoes, diced in a 1" dice, one onion, chopped, a couple sticks of chopped celery, salt, pepper, some of Venie's special dried pepper, 1/3 cup each of lentils, split peas and barley and enough water so it will not run dry, bring to a boil, simmer until the peas and barley are tender, add chicken and simmer another 15 minutes.
Serve with a skillet of corn bread slathered with cow butter.
:D

:D Hey that sounds to good, thank's for post'n the " HE-MAN " Chicken soup.

Now Wait just a gosh darn minute!!! Drinksgin I'm, I'm, I'm...oh heck I don't know what I am but I'm something at you...sexist indeed!!!
 
I use the man recipe.  You guys wouldn't have the man's recipe if yours momas hadn't cooked chicken soup the way you do.
 
SHEEZ!!! Do I have to get my big bad bat out!!!!:D

Actually, I have this recipe because my mother, and her mother, used the Ladies recipe, I hated chicken soup until I started making my own.

Ah-huh, she's just try'n to say she is still  a young chick:rolleyes:

Humm what's become of woman kind????

If I'm doing chicken soup or chicken and dumplin's it for real all the way!!! Even the dumplins.  I make something almost like a cat head for dumplin's.

 

Now this is a sad state of affairs when a man has to larn to make his own chicken soup!!!

I'm confused... you didn't say anything about straining the feathers or gutting the chicken? Is that what makes it macho?
 
:D

Doing those things are optional, depends on how much flavor you want!

I hope it's not made by these guy's

:D :D :D
