Chicken Soup With Garlic Potatoes And Greens Recipes

CHICKEN PICCATA WITH GARLICKY GREENS & NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the new potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 8-10 mins until tender. Add the green beans and spring greens for the last 3 mins. Drain, then separate the greens from the potatoes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, cut the chicken breasts through the centre lengthways, leaving one side attached so it opens out like a book. Brush each one with 1 tsp of the olive oil, then season.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 4 mins on each side until golden. Pour over the stock, capers, lemon juice and zest, then simmer gently for a few minutes to reduce. Add the cooked potatoes and simmer for another minute.
• Heat the remaining 1 tsp oil in another frying pan and fry the garlic for 1 min until lightly golden and fragrant. Tip in the drained greens, and toss in the garlicky oil. Season, then scatter over the parmesan and serve with the chicken and potatoes.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH GARLIC, POTATOES AND GREENS

Steps:

• Heat the bacon in a large, heavy saucepan. When the fat is rendered stir in the onion and cook over low heat until the onion is tender but not brown. Stir in the garlic and cook a minute or so longer.
• Add the potatoes and stock. Bring to a boil, season with some salt and pepper and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Partly mash the potatoes in the saucepan, then stir them to partly dissolve them.
• Add the greens and chicken pieces, bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until the greens are tender. Check seasonings.
• Serve the soup with grated Parmesan cheese on the side.

CHICKEN POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Season chicken with seasoned salt and pepper.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.
• Add onion to pot and cook until almost translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until slightly browned, about 2 minutes more.
• Stir broth, water, celery, carrots, and potatoes into the pot. Cook until carrots and potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and cayenne.

GREEN GARLIC, POTATO AND LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• Trim off the tough green ends of the garlic bulbs. If the garlic has formed cloves, separate them and remove the thick shells from the tender cloves. If it has not formed cloves, just remove the outside layers. Chop coarsely. You should have about 1 cup chopped green garlic.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat. Add the leeks, green garlic, celery and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook gently for five to 10 minutes until the vegetables have softened but not colored. Add the potatoes, water, bouquet garni and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
• Purée the soup using an immersion blender. Alternatively, purée in a standing blender working in 1 1/2-cup batches; pull a towel tightly over the top, rather than a tight-fitting lid, to prevent splashes. Put through a medium strainer, pressing the soup through with the back of a ladle or with a pestle. Reheat, taste and adjust salt. Add freshly ground pepper. Ladle into soup bowls, and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley, chervil or chopped fresh tarragon over each serving. Alternatively, chill and serve cold. You can thin out if you wish with milk or stock.

ROASTED GARLIC POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place potatoes in a shallow roasting pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with pepper; stir to coat. Bake for 25 minutes, or until potatoes are browned. Reserve 1 cup of roasted potatoes.
• In a 3 quart saucepan heat remaining oil; saute onions for 5 minutes. Add potatoes and garlic and stir in broth and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
• Spoon half of broth mixture into a blender; blend until nearly smooth. Repeat with remaining mixture; return all to pot. Stir in milk and season with salt to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with reserved roasted potatoes.

CHICKEN GARLIC GINGER HEALING SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pan.
• Add fresh garlic, fresh ginger, and onion.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add Ginger paste, cayenne pepper, and salt & pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
• Add the chicken broth, water, chicken, and carrots.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes (feel free to cook on low for up to an hour).
• Add spinach and let cook for 5 minutes just before serving.
• Note: you can also add mushrooms, to add in more antioxidants. Simply add to the soup at the same time you add the carrots.

GARLIC CHICKEN WITH HERBED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the marinade, whisk the first five ingredients together, season with black pepper and a large pinch or two of sugar. Finely grate the zest of half a lemon and set aside, then squeeze the lemon juice from that half into the marinade.
• Put the chicken in a nonmetallic dish and spoon the marinade over. Halve the other lemon and add the three halves to the chicken, and marinate until ready to cook. (This can be done up to two hours ahead or overnight if that suits you better.)
• Just over an hour before you want to eat, preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Cut a thin slice off the top of the garlic (this makes it easier to squeeze it out later) and halve the potatoes or cut them into largish chunks, depending on their size. Drain most of the marinade into a roasting tin and add the potatoes and garlic, tossing to make sure that they are coated in the oil. Roast, uncovered, for about 20 minutes.
• Add the chicken, rosemary and lemon to the tin, scraping in any bits of marinade. Toss to mix, arrange the chicken skin-side up and season well with salt, then roast for another 40-45 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked, and the chicken is golden and crisp and the garlic is squashy. Mix the reserved lemon zest and parsley, scatter over the chicken and serve immediately with seasonal green vegetables or salad. The best way to eat the garlic is to squash it out of its skin with a knife and spread it onto the roasted potatoes and chicken.

LENTIL AND CHICKEN SOUP WITH SWEET POTATOES AND ESCAROLE

Steps:

• Place chicken carcass, potatoes, lentils, and 1 tsp. salt in a large pot. Cover with 8 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any foam, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are fork tender and lentils are cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Discard chicken carcass.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high. Add celery and garlic and cook, stirring often, until celery and garlic are lightly golden brown and tender, about 12 minutes.
• Stir celery, garlic, shredded chicken, and escarole into soup and cook, stirring occasionally, until escarole is wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in dill and lemon juice; season soup with salt.
