THIS SOUP STARTER TASTES SO GOOD, IT’S WORTH SLURPING STRAIGHT OUT OF A MUG
Prep time: 9 hrs 20 mins | Makes: 4L
2.5kg chicken wings
2 large onions, quartered
2 celery stalks, cut into 5cm pieces
2 leeks, cut into 5cm pieces
2 garlic cloves, halved horizontally
1 large carrot, cut into 5cm pieces
1 bunch parsley stems
2 tbsp black peppercorns
3 bay leaves
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
01/ Heat the oven to 220°C. Divide the chicken between 2 rimmed baking trays and roast for around 50 to 60 mins until very browned and caramelised. Run a metal spatula under the wings to release juices, if necessary, and tip them into a large, tall stockpot.
02/ Immediately pour 250ml of hot water on to each baking tray. Use a metal spatula to scrape up any bits still stuck to the tray and add the bits and liquid into the stockpot.
03/ Add the remaining ingredients and 7L of cold water, then bring to a boil, skimming off anything that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer, pushing down any exposed ingredients, for around 8 hrs.
04/ Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly for 10 mins. Strain through a large colander, then through a fine mesh sieve. Measure the liquid amount into a large bowl and stir
