Yes- I am fully aware that it is summer and soup is not so much a summer thing. I am also aware of the big salmonella scare over most of the veggies I use in this recipe. No I don’t care.

Start with a good, strong chicken stock. I make my own fortified stock using a boxed stock as a starter and a whole chicken carcass (really easy if you had one of those roasted deli chickens the night before)
