Friday Night Soup

Last night I did a straightforward soup for dinner.

I started from some leftover chicken stock to which I added a couple chicken leg quarters, some diced potato (starchy), some carrot chunks, a diced onion, fennel seeds, a clove, couple bay leaves, a boullion cube and some more water (there wasn't enough stock). I cooked this until the potatoes were soft, removed the chicken and bay leaves, and then pureed the soup. After pureeing, I added back the chicken, some cubed daikon, diced carrot, chopped chives, and some mixed greens. This cooked until the daikon was finished.

We ate the soup topped with some grated gruyere. We also had some nice bread and a green salad.
