This soup is in fact a chicken broth, to which you can add rice or vermicelli, or use as stock for a vegetable soup. Chicken soup is the remedy for all ills – from the common cold to fever to aching bones, especially during post-natal confinement. You can serve the chicken with yellow rice, Oriental rice or an assortment of vegetables.
Ingredients
Method
Remove the skin from the chicken and put in a large pot. Add the peeled onion, whole garlic cloves, salt, pepper, allspice and cinnamon stick along with 2 litres (2 quarts) water and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and let simmer for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked and tender. Remove the chicken (and serve, or use for another recipe) and strain the liquid into a clean pan.
