Ingredients
- 3 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 talks celery chopped
- 4 carrots chopped
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pimientos
- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Place the chicken pieces in a large pot and add water to cover (about 3 quarts). Cook on low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the chicken is done and tender. Skim off any foam or fat that rises to the surface during the initial boiling.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. (Reserve the chicken stock in the pot.) Once it's cool enough to handle, shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones.
- To make a roux, melt the butter in a 3-quart saucepan over low heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 or 2 minutes.
- Bring 8 cups of the reserved chicken stock to a slow boil and gradually stir it into the roux. Simmer until the soup takes on a glaze, about 15 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken, pimientos, green pepper, ground pepper, and heavy cream. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve in heated bowls.
Notes
- Add more cream for a creamier bisque.
- You can use any remaining chicken in salads or other recipes.
