Fresh and Quick Chicken Soup

After a nice long drive along Lake Michigan this afternoon, we got home around 6:00PM. Thank you Daylight Savings Time!!!  I had bought a couple of chickens at Pick ‘n Save yesterday.  Earlier, I indicated that I was entering recipes into my Living Cookbook application.  I finished that this afternoon and pulled up the chicken soup recipe I had planned on making.  Part of the reason for our later afternoon drive was this fast and tasty dish.  The recipe is Chicken-Vegetable soup.  The recipe is below.  Click on the recipe to be taken to the Cooking Light source version.

I was a bit nervous when the recipe suggested that I boil the chicken.  I’ve been warned for years from every book and cooking show that boiling chicken will create a cloudy broth.  I lucked out and have a beautiful clear broth that has a really great, fresh taste.  I think the parsnip adds not only a sweet tone, but the great fresh taste in this soup.  Be sure to taste for proper salt flavor.  I had to add some additional salt for proper seasoning.
