“my wife always cooks the chicken soup with a leek in it. i recommend your wife give it a try. “
If you want a yummy treat, peel a sweet potato and put it in your chicken soup – adds a wonderful tam and tastes great. Often there are so many assorted veggies in my pot of chicken soup that there is barely room for the bird. Most of them are pretty cooked out by the time the soup is done and are discarded when I strain my soup. I only save the carrots (and eat the sweet potato right away-cook’s treat).
