ok, so tits not the prettiest soup in the world, but girrrrrlll its tasty. when this was simmering away on my stove top i told bub "mmmm. our kitchen smells like a cottage in the south of France." naturally, he agreed. we dont know first hand what a cottage in the south of France smells like, but this is how we imagine it. try it and i know you will instantly be transported to... well.... the south of France.
it has chicken thighs. for some reason, i am drawn to thighs. i feel that there is a connection there for me. this is a rich and delicious soup that we enjoy with yeast rolls.
here 'tis.
10 chicken thighs - skin removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 medium potatoes (skins intact)
1 large onion
4 carrots peeled, cut to 1 inch pieces
1 pt sliced mushrooms
1/2 bottle dry red wine
1/2 bottle dry white wine
1 pint chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried oregano
salt to taste (i used 2 1/2 tablespoons)
pepper to taste (i used 2 teaspoons)
in a large dutch oven heat olive oil on medium high heat, place all chicken thighs in the dutch oven. let them sit for 6-8 minutes then turn. after 6-8 more minutes, add wine and broth. cut potatoes to 1 inch pieces add these and all other ingredients except onions and mushrooms and simmer for 40 minutes stirring only occasionally. onions and mushrooms can go in after 40 minutes, cook until tender - about 15 minutes.
oh golly its good. not pretty, but good.
