I screwed up the chciken soup OR you must use the right ingredients if you want good food


Last night I made great tasting chicken broth for chicken soup tonight from 2 BBQ roaster chickens from the supermarket. After overnight refrigerating, I scraped off the fat that accumulated on the surface.

Fortunately I made a small batch.

I cut up the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, put in oregano, basil, thyme, bay leaves, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and white wine. The latter is where I screwed up. I used what I had left over of a Pinot Grigio, a very dry wine. It made the entire soup bitter tasting. I should have used white zinfandel! A much sweeter wine. I rescued the soup by adding a little crushed tomatoes. I may have improved the situation by, and grating a good Italian cheese in it. Grating! Not sprinkling that powdered crap cheese.

If you want the final product to taste good, you need to use good ingredients and use them in the right order.

My girlfriend said she thought the soup was good. I thought it was crap. But I ate it. It was healthy.
