Chicken Soup Starter

2 Tbsp Halladay’s Harvest Barn Chardonnay or Garlic Herb Blend

2 Tbsp butter or oil

1 onion, chopped

3 celery stalks, cut in slices

3 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced

8 cups chicken stock or water

2 bay leaves

2 lbs bone in chicken thighs

¾ cups rice or orzo

Sauté onions, carrots, and celery in butter or olive oil for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add seasoning, chicken stock or water and chicken thighs. Cook over medium heat for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is done. Remove chicken, shred chicken off the bone when it is cool enough, then add it back to the soup.

At this point add ¾ cup of rice or orzo, cook until done according to package directions. If you are adding noodles or pasta, cook them in a separate pot and add as you serve the soup. Orzo can also be done on in a separate pot.
