| Chicken Stock and My First Chicken Puree Recipes taste much better if you use home-made chicken stock ratther than a stock cube. If you make it up in large batches, divide it up into small containers and keep it in the freezer, you can use it as a base for soups, chicken and vegetable purees. MAKES APPROX 2.25 LITRES(4 PINTS) 1 boiler chicken, plus giblets 2 leeks 2 parsnips 2 large onions 1 small turnip 1 celery stalk 3 carrots 3 sprigs of parsley Cut the chicken into 8 pieces, trimming excess fat. Trim, peel and wash the vegetables as necessary. Put the chicken pieces into a large saucepan together with the giblets. Cover generously with water, bring to the boil and skim the froth from the top. Add the vegetables and parsley and simmer for about 3 1/2 hours. It is best to remove the chicken breasts after about 1 1/2 hours if you are going to eat them, otherwise they will become too dry. Leave the soup in the fridge overnight and remove any congealed fat from the top in the morning. Strain out all the chicken and vegetables to make the chicken stock. Season to taste. You can puree some of the chicken breast in a mouli together with some of the vegetables and some stock to make a chicken and vegetable puree for your baby, or puree the vegetables and stock for a non-clear soup for adults. |
