Chicken Broth Recipe
Chicken Broth with Tarragon and Tomatoes
I love a good Chicken Broth Recipe for those days when I crave something salty but light and even better if I can dunk crusty bread into it. I like to make my guests feel comfortable in my home so this is an ideal starter to make ahead of time and ease the stress of cooking for a crowd.
Simple and delicious, the flavor combinations of tomato and tarragon works so well in this light soup. It makes a great light lunch or perfect starter with crispy bread rolls.
If you use a good quality chicken broth, then the resulting soup should have a clear orangish colour and the wegdes of cooked tomato delicately floating with the tarragon. It can be made more of a substantial soup by adding a handfull of thin noodles to bulk it up and add some more texture but the recipe doesn't call for it. A really nice alternative to this chicken recipe would be Chicken Noodle Soup.
This Chicken Broth Recipe will easily feed 4 people.
