Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- (The chicken meat will be reserved for another meal and the stock is for this soup recipe. If not preparing Broccoli Casserole, use 6 cups store-bought chicken stock.)
- 2 full bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
- 2 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 2 ribs celery
- 1 onion, quartered, root end attached
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Bundle of parsley, thyme, fresh bay leaf
- A few black peppercorns
Instructions
- For the poached chicken stock: Place the chicken, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, lemon, herb bundle, peppercorns and salt in a pot, cover with water and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to simmer and simmer for 1 hour minimum. Cool the chicken in the broth. Remove the chicken and cool. Separate the meat and pull or chop into bite-size pieces. Reserve for Broccoli Casserole preparation. The chicken can be stored in plastic bag in the fridge for 4 days. Strain the stock and reserve for soup.
- For the soup: Heat a soup pot over medium heat. Melt the butter and when it begins to foam, add the celery, onions and garlic; season with celery salt and pepper. Add the fresh bay leaf to the pot, partially cover, and cook until very tender and soft, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the potatoes, celeriac and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low rolling boil and simmer, partially covered, for another 20 minutes, then puree with an immersion blender. Cool the soup and store for a make-ahead meal.
- Place the soup in a stockpot and stir in the cream. Bring to simmer and taste to adjust seasoning. Serve in shallow bowls with Deviled-Ham Toasts alongside.
- Combine the prosciutto, celery, Fresno chile pepper, red onion, parsley, garlic, mustard, pickle relish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and seasoning in a food processor and pulse until it's very, very finely chopped and well combined, almost smooth. Deviled ham stores well in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. Spread deviled ham on the toast and cut into toast points, corner to corner, or serve with saltines.
- NotesDeviled ham is delicious as a spread on saltines or other crackers. It's delicious spread on toast as a snack or a light lunch, with a salad on the side. It's also a really nice brunch item. Sometimes I also use steamed asparagus tips and I'll do a layer of deviled ham, a layer of steamed asparagus tips, and a layer of cheese. Sometimes I've even used it to make a Croque Monsieur or Croque Madame. I'll take a little thin layer of deviled ham on white toast, top it with bechamel and Gruyere and bake that and top it with an egg. It's all good. You could substitute 1/2 pound of leftover white-meat chicken as well, or deli-sliced chicken breast, to make Deviled Chicken.
