Chicken Soup
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Prepare
Cut the chicken into joints and break every bone.
Place the chicken and salt in an earthenware jar.
Bake and serve
Fill the jar with water and cover it tightly.
Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for two hours.
Strain the broth before serving.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
