I’m trying it doubled in one large pot now, I’ll let you know! Thanks for the response

If you have a very large pot that can comfortably accomodate both chickens, you could do it in one pot, but it would probably be safer to use 2.

I want to make this chicken soup for my book club- how would I double the recipe? I guess I’m asking do I need two pots or is there a way to make it in one?

First-time reader and commenter here… cooked this soup today for my sick wife in a tiny rental apartment in Pucon, Chile. After a week of no appetite or interest in food, she ate two bowls!

Thanks for the great post.

The slow poaching is clever and works quite well. Lime/cilantro/avo hit the spot. Only two minor notes:

1) we ended up with less broth than we wanted and extra chicken (probably because we started with an enormous bone-in double breast and two enormous bone-in leg/thigh combo pieces, rather than a single whole chicken… no free-range organic stuff here). Perhaps should have used more water.

2) the refrigerated chicken+avo made the broth a little cold, so I warmed the chicken before combining with hot broth, avo, and cilantro

I loved it and think it lives up to its name. The chicken was perfect and can be used for chicken salad, sandwiches, soft chicken tacos, etc. all week. It’s a good recipe for the specific carbohydrate diet introductory diet chicken soup too!

This chicken soup is great! I am going to make this exactly as per the recipe in winter, but it’s a hot day here so i also threw some lime leaves into the stock and a chunk of smashed ginger. I dont have any avocado so putting some bok choy into the bowl instead. Just lovely, thanks for sharing!

@ Bradicich, to bad you did not follow the recipe, this is the best way to have a pure strong chicken flavor soup. Don’t give up so fast! you could have use that broth for many other recipes.

I don’t know what the people with negative comments did wrong, but this is really good! The avocado is an interesting addition! Either they didn’t follow the recipe right or their tastebuds were too dulled out by their colds to know the difference between good chicken soup and soup from a can! With the lime and the cillantro (and avocado, come to think of it) I was tempted to roast some poblanos and turn it into tortilla soup

Yikes! Sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you. Can you tell me a little bit more about what happened? Did you boil the bones for the full 3 hours specified? How large was your chicken? Would love to get to the bottom of this so other people don’t have the same problem.
