Well, now, I reckon you all are wonderin’ what in the world “chicken butthole soup” is, ain’t ya? Seems like a mighty strange name for a soup, but don’t be too quick to judge it. It’s a good ol’ recipe that’ll fill your belly right up, and might even surprise you with how tasty it is. Now, don’t go thinkin’ it’s all about chicken parts nobody wants to eat, it’s just a funny way of sayin’ it’s made from the good bits—bones and all. Let me tell ya how to make it, simple-like, so you can make it right at home.
First off, y’all gonna need to get yourself a nice, plump chicken. Don’t go for them skinny ones, mind ya. You want a chicken with some good meat on it, especially around the bones. Ain’t no better flavor than from the bones, trust me. You’ll be needin’ the whole chicken, skin and bones, just like how we used to do back in the day. It’s the secret to gettin’ that rich, flavorful broth that makes the soup so good.
Now, take your chicken and wash it off real good, just to make sure there ain’t no dirt on it from the market. Then, put it in a big pot of cold water—enough to cover it up real good, ya see? You wanna bring that pot to a boil, then turn it down to a simmer. Let it cook slow-like for about an hour, maybe longer if you got the time. You want all them flavors to get outta them bones and into that broth. It’ll start to get a bit thick and maybe even jelly-like, but that’s just the collagen from the bones workin’ its magic.
While that chicken’s cookin’, you can start gettin’ your veggies ready. Now, don’t go gettin’ too fancy here. You need some carrots, onions, and celery. Just the basics, no need to complicate things. Chop ’em up into nice, bite-sized pieces, and set ’em aside. Once your chicken’s done cookin’, you’re gonna take it outta the pot. Don’t throw that chicken away though—no ma’am! You’re gonna take the skin and bones off, and pull all that tender meat apart. That’s the best part of the soup right there. Shred it up real good.
Now, take your veggies and throw ’em into the pot with that rich broth you just made. You’ll want to let ’em cook in there for about 20 minutes. They don’t need too much time, just long enough to get nice and tender. If you like a little spice, now’s the time to throw in a pinch of black pepper or whatever else you like. The broth’s gonna soak up all them good flavors from the veggies and chicken. And don’t forget, you’ll want a good handful of salt—don’t go overboard, but make sure it’s seasoned right.
Once your veggies are soft, it’s time to add the chicken back in. Stir it all around, let it all mix up good. Some folks like to throw in a little noodles or rice if they want a heartier soup. Just make sure to cook them separately and add ’em in at the end so they don’t get all mushy. This soup’s supposed to be warm and comforting, not a big soggy mess, you know what I mean?
If you’re feelin’ fancy, you can always add a little cream or milk to make it more creamy, but I like it just as is—nice and clear with that rich, hearty broth. Let it cook for another 10 minutes or so, and then, it’s ready to eat!
So there ya have it, chicken butthole soup! Don’t let the name fool ya, it’s just a good, old-fashioned chicken soup made with love and some mighty fine ingredients. Perfect for those cold days when you need something to warm ya up. And the best part? You can keep all them good bits of the chicken—nothing goes to waste. That’s the way we did it back in the day, and it still works today. Enjoy, y’all!
