My Chicken soup:

6-8 drumsticks
1 large onion (keep whole or chop into wedges)
1 parsnip chopped into cubes
1 swede chopped into cubes
1-2 carrots chopped into cubes
2 potatoes chopped into cubes
1 stalk celery chopped
1 cube massel vege stock
1 cube of massel chicken stock
water

I cook the drumsticks in a pot with the onion first (for approx. 30min or untill meat coming off bone). Then I take drumsticks out and poor liquid into a bowl through a fine sieve. Replace liquid into pot (don't replace onion).

Set chicken aside in a seperate bowl to cool. Then while soup is cooking, take meat off bone and tear the meat up. Set aside.

Add veges and stock and a bit more water if needed. Cook for 40min or untill veges are cooked. Replace shredded chicken meat into soup and heat untill hot.

I know that the first bit looks fiddly (ie.cooking drumsticks etc), but it's the stock for the soup and really does make the soup taste heaps better.

I also have some maggi (it's liquid seasoning in a bottle. Great for soups ) and put a few splashes of that into the soup after it's cooked or into our bowls.
