My signature chicken soup recipe: great hangover cure for the festive season

[@tmzolk]

Thanks!

[@mirabai305]

I love the idea of making the stock base, freezing it in serving sizes with the shredded chicken, and then adding fresh vegetable (and maybe rice) when I need a soothing bowl of soup.

[@mycontainergarden]

Thank You so much for your recipes! As an American I know nothing about French Cooking. But I do know alot about Soul Food due to my ancestor history. Many good blessings to an extremely accomplished Master Chef!

[@kausarshahkhan2083]

You, sir, are a hardworking and wonderful person! May God bless you with Peace, Happiness, Love, Guidance and Joy all of your days!💝💖❤️✨🤲🏻

I live in South Florida & am only 200 miles from Havana, Cuba. Yes, Cubans make wonderful chicken soup! 🌴

[@Diana-gx3tx]

I made this soup and could f stop eating it. Delicious, satisfying and sophisticated.

[@mridgill]

This is different from what I am used to in the USA, and I can’t wait to try this. It looks great.

[@rustyshackleford3278]

Vermont resident here, my thoughts exactly. Best of luck when you try it out!

[@suelancaster6959]

I've had similar soups throughout the midwestern states. It's very good during cold weather

[@christian13309]

I always have a big smile on my face, when i watch your videos, because your excitement is really contagious

[@morderne]

Thank You Chef!!!!!!!! This was amazing! I decided to prepare this recipe yesterday as my 'one pot' dinner. A few friends stopped by for a quick drink but would not leave because the aromas were so intoxicating. They 'self invited' and stayed for dinner. The soup was simply remarkable, and the presentation was the most formal masterpiece of CHICKEN SOUP I have ever prepared or enjoyed!!!! yours is my favorite channel!

[@nibornnyw3185]

Yes I also love that flavor that cumin gives. I always add a little ginger to my soups and stocks, and shhh a tiny bit of fish sauce.

[@MrOllie169]

Looks tasty! Maybe try making a cream of chicken with roasted garlic using leeks and potatoes and such! Using a standard mirpoix and some thyme! Soooooo good!

[@МарияНиколаева-у3д]

I have seen a lot of this types of recepies, but for some reason yours got me hooked so hard that I started to cook immediately. Although me and my family are not a big fans of celery and cumin, I did everything exactly by your instructions... We have just finished eating and I can tell that THIS IS MAGNIFICENT! Thank you so much and God bless you!

Cumin.

[@ronthompson2421]

@@МарияНиколаева-у3д Nothing to be sorry about, did the soup turn out good?

[@МарияНиколаева-у3д]

@@ronthompson2421 Yeees!) As i mentioned above, it was great! Also the main indicator - my daughter, who just hates celery, but she enjoyed the soup and even asked for another portion ;))

[@brianyoung3]

For a balanced flavour in a stock, you need to have equal quantities of onion, carrot, and celery. Leak is optional but makes a better stock. Of course you need your bouquet garni (bay leaf, parsley, thyme). For those who don't care for one of the above ingredients, they won't know because one doesn't stand out but you can sure tell when one of them is missing

[@tombowler6458]

Thanks for sharing this recipe with us Stéphan. The soup looks delicious and very wholesome. A healthier alternative to a Bacon butty, which us Brits for renowned for using as a hangover remedy.

[@rauffux]

Just made this. Insanely good. Thank you for sharing!!

[@mikekramer7737]

Another winner. I added some fennel to the base and steamed the remaining carrot and fennel for the veg at the end. How do you keep the croutons crunchy? Next time I think I will replace them with toasted garlic bread. Thanks.

[@Studycase3000]

The chicken ratio you were mentioning is also, as happens with anything with the heavy cream added mellows out. Beautiful soup, my mouth is watering.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

thanks 🙂🙂👍

[@LRG251]

Onyo is always number 1!

I can’t wait for autumn and winter to come! It’s almost summer in my country and a lot of delicious winter recipes are popping in my notifications. 😂

[@moniquem783]

It’s 10 days into summer here too, but someone forgot to tell the weather about it so chicken soup would absolutely still be fine! 😂😂😂

[@volgadonna22]

So perfect! Thank you for sharing this great recipe. I am Russian and we will definitely need this soup after New Year's celebrations!😊. Happy Holidays!🥂

[@StrikerEureka85]

this is chicken soup on a whole other level. will definitely try!

[@maschatolstoi6401]

Yesterday cooked this recipe. Tres bien, I'll do it once a week. Great cooking channel.

[@patriciawhite619]

Fabulous! Food for the soul. My mother used to make me chicken soup from scratch when I was young and unwell. Going to give this a go as my hubby is not well. Thank you so much stephan

I'm making this Sunday!!

[@rndyh77]

I made this. I was worried the cumin would make it taste like tortilla soup, but it didn't. It is fantastic. Amazing flavors.

[@bettyboblue]

I had the same experiences... sceptic to cumin, but soup is truly tasty with it

[@desireedoan9267]

As always fantastic ☺️

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

thanks so so much 🙂🙂

[@creepylemon]

Made this for my grandma and it was delicious & had great texture thanks to blending! Very good basic chicken soup recipe.

[@tugstanboat779]

That's just lovely.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That is a nice looking chicken soup. So healthy looking and full of flavour. Cheers, Stephane!

[@muzica6154]

I'll make this for Christmas. :) We have in Romania something similar and we call it "chicken soup a la grecque", where we use cream and egg instead of cream. It's a very good soup. The cumin is such an interesting addition and since I love its taste, I bet I'm gonna love your soup. Love your videos, I've learned so much from you!

[@engc4953]

Avogolemono soup is absolutely delicious and I always add a squeeze of fresh lemon to all chicken soups. I’m going to try Stephane’s soup without any lemon.

[@QwertiusMaximus]

Now I just need to give myself a hangover.

[@didisinclair3605]

Cumin seeds and Cream??? Sounds so interesting! I'll do this the next time I make chicken soup. Thanks Stephan!!!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

my pleasure

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Thx Looks great.

[@ChiIeboy]

In America we would call this _cream of chicken_ soup, which is considerably less common than for example the ubiquitous _chicken noodle_ soup, which has the characteristic 'clear broth' appearance. (I make the latter version quite often, usually incorporating a store-bought rotisserie chicken, which results in what may be called a _roasted chicken noodle_ soup.) That said, your creamy version has a characteristic French look and feel and I can't wait to try it out. C'est manifique ! Great job as always, chef Stephane!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

[@kaymccormack7308]

That’s looks very good!

[@dertobbe1176]

Looks awesome

[@whoareyou2me]

This looks absolutely delish. The puree of the veggies is new for me. I wonder if it would work with soy milk or cashew cream?

[@Paularis81]

I'll be making this soup this week. Do you recommend to toast the cumin seeds before adding them?

[@cynthialeeser7952]

That soup is what I want to make….the techniques were simple and the resulting soup look sooo delicious. The cream addition elevates it, and the ground up veggies keeps it more attractive and elegant. I can’t wait to eat it!

Best chicken soup ever! I have made this recipe twice, absolutely delicious. Thank you Stephane

[@andriesscheper2022]

My hangover soup was basicaly a chicken soup with 20 gloves of garlic, red pepper and a lot of paprika's (some 45 years ago). Like the idea of adding cream.

Never in a million years would I have thought anyone would put cumin in chicken soup. It looks beautiful - looking forward to trying this out!

[@faithsrvtrip8768]

He didn't use cumin powder he used the whole seeds. I think it would be amazing!

[@shahnazidrees5920]

Also add 4 to 5 cloves plus a large cardamom and black peppercorn

[@Bravo21]

Thank you Chef, that looks awesome... I would have never thought to add Cumin to my chicken soup. We just had a front come though and it's a chilly day today, I was planning on making Chili, but my menu for dinner just changed lol. I'm off to the shops!

[@TheAnemarie]

I never ever heard abot cumin in a chicken soup, is that your personal choice or is it the french way?

[@paperadrin]

This looks great! and perfect timing, I have been wondering what to do with my whole chicken this week. Merci!

[@soulfoodqueennet]

I LOVE CHICKEN SOUP...

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

This looks delicious! How do you dismember the whole chicken so neatly? When I do it every piece looks ragged!

[@MariVictorius]

A good sharp knife and practice, practice, practice! 👍👍

[@frankschiffmann2975]

Hi Stephane, I Prefer To use only 1/2 of water and the second 1/2 of chicken broth To Cook This soup. It increases The intense of The Soup.

[@LoralLee]

You're not making this soup--you're making your own soup.

[@danielcarey8407]

Would it be a good idea to use chicken stock instead of water? Love this video and recipe!

[@NanaMarti2010]

As I was copying the ingredients while watching the video, I think you forgot to add butter to the ingredients list. It looks like 4 T. but please reply to be sure or indicate the correct amount. Thanks...looks delicious and I can't wait to make it!

[@floydvaughn836]

You can't have to much butter. Julia Child. Within reason, just wing it.

[@RannPatterson]

Looks delicious! Chicken soup from scratch will cure just about anything. I make it often but only with breasts. I’m Deep South USA and I also am looking forward to making this recipe! Also learned a few tips for “cleaning” or skimming the top. Thank you!

[@dottiea.2186]

You're cooking the aromatics first instead of drowning in water...❤😎

[@CerberusVll]

How much butter do you use? And how many shallots? I noticed that this was missing from the written recipe

[@thejohngalt]

Maybe dry roast the cumin with a pinch of salt. Made my hungry.

[@kamilamilo6617]

Super interesting version of a standard, clear chicken soup. Will definitely try this out. Wonder what size is the pot used in this recipe..

[@toujourliebsten]

looks like about 5 qt le creuset

[@daphnepearce9411]

This looks absolutely mouth watering! Cream? Cumin seeds? immersion blending the stock?? I'm in heaven! Every Monday I make batch of soup for dinner and wasn't sure what to make, I'm definitely making this. Thanks Stephane!

[@_andrewstone]

Yum!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

👍

[@JRRob3wn]

When I make chicken soup, I just throw the whole carcass into a pot, cover with water, throw some rough chopped veggies in and cook for 1.2 hrs. Set aside chicken (cool, then shred it), strain stock, then add whatever veggies you want in your soup and cook for about 20 minutes. This way you get all the flavor from the veggies etc, but the veg that ends up in your soup isn’t mushy. This version looks great though - very different, will give it a try.

[@markrichardson3822]

What milk fat is the cream your using? I can only get 36% and yours looks so much thicker! Thanks for another great video.

[@MariaM-co2ui]

Look for canned cream. Nestle makes one. Very thick and good

[@ah4furnishings348]

Very nice! I love Cumin seeds Good in rice too

[@wjsaxton]

Hi Stephane 👋 long-time subscriber of yours here. Do u ever take a note from Indian 🇮🇳 style cooking, and toast / fry your main spices in your fat, before adding your aromatics..? It takes the spice (cumin a great option) note up a level, and makes it a lil more prominent in the finished dish. Also perfumes your fat to diffuse throughout the whole dish a bit more. Just curious / a suggestion to try… ✌️💜🙏

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

thanks yes i use that technique a lot when i cook indian dishes i actually cook more then just french food lots of indian dishes , vietnamese and basic chinese too so yes you right i could have use that technique indeed i🙂 next time 👍

[@sylviaseri4235]

In USA I think it’s cream of chicken soup without the flour as a thickener. Much better your way I think!

[@andrewhammill6148]

Looks great, but I think I would have cooked the carcass separately and then strained it into another pot in order to make sure there were no small bones from the carcass remaining in the soup.

[@CantEscapeFlorida]

Yeah but you get a lot of good flavor from the marrow and bones.

[@lyarnes]

Oooh, that looks divine! I need to share with you my family recipe for Avgolemono, a Greek lemon/egg soup made with either vegetable stock or, as I prefer, with chicken stock. I'll email you the recipe ❤

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

yes you can use our instagram for that 🙂

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

It is a good soup and unlike anything else, or certainly i had tried. A very homely treat for some Greek folks.

[@gutierrezajl]

When you blitzed it - did you filter out the tiny particles of veggies or did you leave them?

[@-_James_-]

He said he filtered it.

[@jamesroseland7903]

My wife just bought all those ingredients coincidentally. God’s providence!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

ah that is what i call a sign 🙂🙂

[@GiftWrapped]

Stepfan I like my chicken soup broth golden brown so I brown my chicken first in butter kind if almost burning it but not really and then I add all you do accept I add celery leaves and parsley I've never tried cumin seeds cant get them I never get foam I dont know why. Cream ewe we dont like that oh and I use 3 bulbs of garlic Lots of work I have a turkey thigh I'll use that for my next soup.

[@alaincouillaud8997]

How much Rhum are we suppose to drink before cooking it? Mojitos ok? ;-)
