第3章 ABC CHICKEN SOUP

Large hens, or soup chickens, make the best broth, but the meat can be tough. Sheila solved this problem by simmering a couple of chicken breast halves in the broth at the end of cooking time and then dicing them up and returning them to the soup.

For the broth:

1 soup chicken (3 1/2 pounds), cut into 8 pieces

3 carrots, halved

2 celery ribs with leaves, halved

1 onion, unpeeled, quartered

1 parsnip, halved

6 garlic cloves, unpeeled, crushed

4 sprigs dill

4 peppercorns

Salt, to taste

For the soup:

2 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch dice

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

1/4 cup alphabet pasta, or 2 ounces angel hair pasta, broken into quarters, cooked al dente

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

1. Prepare the chicken broth. Place the chicken in a large soup pot with the carrots, celery, onion, parsnip, garlic, dill, peppercorns, and salt. Cover with 9 cups of water.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Let rest 10 minutes.

2. Strain the broth. Discard the chicken (which will be tough) and the vegetables, and reserve for another use. Return the broth to the pot. (Makes about 8 cups.)

3. To finish the soup, add the carrots and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chicken breasts and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts, cut them into small cubes, and return to the pot along with the alphabets. Simmer until the pasta is cooked and then stir in the chopped dill. Serve hot.

In The Scorpion God we see the world of ancient Egypt at the time of the earliest pharaohs. Clonk Clonk is a graphic account of a crippled youth's triumph over his tormentors in a primitive matriarchal society. And Envoy Extraordinary is a tale of Imperial Rome where the emperor loves his illegitimate grandson more than his own arrogant, loutish heir. "The writing is brilliant, so fluent and stylish that the stories read themselves like a dream. "(Daily Telegraph). "As ambitious and as engrossing as the best of Golding. "(Financial Times).
  • Ethiopia Boy

    Ethiopia Boy

    Chris Beckett grew up in 1960s Ethiopia, a country he describes as a 'barefoot empire, home of black-maned lions… old priests decked out like butterflies and blazing young singers of Ethio-jazz'. Ethiopia Boy plunges the reader into praise poems that sing and boast and glory in the colours and textures of this extraordinary country. Here is a world of feasting on spicy kikwot and of famine sucking the water from rivers, of lion buses and a prayer child, where Earth sings greetings to the feet that walk on her. Haunted by the memory of his friend Abebe, the cook's son, Beckett celebrates and laments a lost boyhood in poems of vivid immediacy.
