like sthill mom I use all the vegetables, not sweet potato, plus bay leaves

I started taking off the skin so I wouldn't have to clean the feathers off-there are still tiny pin feathers on chickens

treife chicken are boiled to remove the feathers, but not kosher ones, obviously, so I never wanted them to fall off in to the soup-

when I roast a chicken, I have to do the flicking or im afraid the feathers will go into the gravy. I rarely roast chicken...

Off! And it does taste excellent, I also use the spice & spirit recipe. But I use chicken cutlets so there is nothing at all to skim off and then I save the cutlets for chicken salad.

This is a FIRST. I've never heard of anyone using cutlets for soup. How many do you use for how big a pot? Do you fry them afterwards? Brilliant!

I get a lot of compliments on my chicken soup I let it cook all day and put in tons of vegies and chicken, I've never had complaints, one week I thought why not make perfect more perfect?? so I left the skin on for flavor, it was soo oily I couldn't touch it, the next morning I skimmed all the fat, like I do e/ week and hoped that it would be better on shabbas but it really wasn't you could see the oil in the soup and taste it on your lips, I tried it a few more weeks to give it a fair shot, but noo I went back to skinless, it tastes delicious anyway so why have that oil?

I experimented with a lot of different chicken types in my pot. By that I mean I have tried bones, drumsticks, whole chickens etc.
I find chicken wings work best for flavor. I dont skin them, but I clean them as well as I can. I make it the night before to skim off all excess fat. I am pretty nitpicky about that and it takes a while until I am satisfied!!
My husband says my soup is better than his Mom's and that is the biggest compliment I can get from him!!!
