This year in hopes of using more of my overwhelming collection of recipes, I have decided to post recipes on a theme. They will always feature herbs, of course, but each month the weekday and weekend recipes (and maybe even a how to or featured herb) will follow the monthly theme.Each post on a theme will have search words so you can find the rest of the monthly posts easily. Just scroll to the bottom of any recipe to find them.
To kick things off, especially since flu season is upon us in full force, I chose Chicken Soup for the January Theme. These wonderful warming and soothing soups can be used for all that ails you, from colds to the temps outside!
Pressure Cooker Chicken Stock
1 chicken, broken
down into 8 pieces or roasted chicken bones
1 small onion, halved
1 carrot, peeled and
cut into large pieces
1 stalk celery, cut
into large pieces
2 cloves garlic,
peeled
2 teaspoons black
peppercorns
3 sprigs fresh
thyme (1 tsp dried)
1 sprig rosemary (1/4 tsp dried)
Instructions:
Place all the
ingredients in the bowl of the pressure cooker and cover with water, about 8 to
9 cups. Secure the lid and set on Manual with high pressure for 50 minutes.
Allow to naturally release.
Strain the broth and
allow to cool completely. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze
for up to 3 months.
