Chicken Soup and Seasonal Variations

You can’t beat a good bowl of creamy chicken soup at any time of the year. A raw carcass or two is the best option and your butcher may even give them to you, if you’re lucky. You can get away with a carcass from a cooked bird but it won’t give as full a flavour.

Through the year have fun playing around with seasonal variations. Add wild mushrooms as they appear in the autumn and spring, and in the summer add peas and broad beans. Or put some crayfish or lobster shells into the soup
