Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
On winter afternoons, Grandma often had a chicken simmering on a back burner so she'd have chicken for this recipe. She placed a 4-pound chicken in a large soup pot and covered it with cold water. Then she added a bay leaf and an onion to the water, brought the water to a boil, lowered the heat and simmered the chicken for 1 hour. She chopped the meat, discarding the skin and bones, then skimmed the broth and saved it for soup.
