Chicken Soup Sicilian Style

by Esther Milne

Mediterranean Diet

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken (thighs or breast, we used both)
1lb carrots
1 large onion
3 or 4 white potatoes
2 sweet potatoes
5-6 cloves of garlic (or more or less depending on your taste)
Fresh Italian Parsley
Papa Vince Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
Papa Vince Sea Salt

How to make

Put on a large pot of water to boil.
Chop the garlic and mix with the Italian parsley, 1 teaspoon of Papa Vince Sea Salt & 1/2 cup of Papa Vince EVOO (we used a pestle & mortar to mix)
Coat the raw chicken with the seasoning prepared in step 2 and leave it to season for 10 minutes. This makes all the difference to the flavor.
Peel & chop your vegetables into large chunks. Use the Papa Vince Peeler.
Add the chicken to the boiling water and leave it to cook for 10-15 minutes.
Add the vegetables and leave the soup to cook on a high heat for 30 minutes.
Taste & add more salt if required. Serve with some extra EVOO on top for added flavor.

Preparation Time

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Serves: 5-6

Background

My mom has been making this recipe since before I was born, I think her mother made it before she did! This chicken soup is hearty, wholesome, makes you feel good & when served with some extra Papa Vince EVOO on top, the flavor is out of this world!

Fresh taste, so yummy

The tomato sauce was so good. There’s no sweet taste due to sugar and no bite due to poor tomatoes. It’s in a glass jar which made me very happy so I popped it right open for a quick taste. It was so good it was hard to close it up (so good) and keep it for use on Pappa Vince pasta. I’m glad I did because the combo of the two was really delicious. I have some new favorites in the food category.

Excellent

This Sicilian treat has been an amazing tool in my personal "battle of the bulge". The "contents" listing on the packages and bottles tells the story: simple foods without "additives". Papa Vince's outstanding product line has helped to to fast intermittently as I always have something exquisite to look forward to.
