Thanks to ChatGPT for this recipe with no stupid SEO in it. Total time to make: 80 minutes if you’re a normal slow chopper of vegetables (like me), 50 minutes if you’re super fast with a knife.
For a simple chicken soup with potatoes, you’ll need the following ingredients:
500g (1 lb) chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1.2L (6 cups) chicken broth or stock
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Here’s how to make it:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they’re soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they’re no longer pink on the outside, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot along with the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or dill if desired.
Here’s how it looked when I made it for my 7 year old. She got some of it down the first time and liked it, then had more as she felt better.
No need to read this bit, look after yourself/your person.
But yeah, I hate all the recipes online these days that bury what you really want under mountains of SEO crap. So, while my blog is almost exclusively tech, every now and then I have a sick kid and no bloody patience for that SEO nonsense so this is the recipe that worked for me thanks to ChatGPT, and now I can easily find it forever!
