I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for a month! I expected to make 1 or 2 soups and get too busy so I’m really excited! For this SOUP-er Friday I wanted to expand my horizons and go outside my comfort zone a bit. I decided on Coq Au Vin (chicken braised in red wine).

Traditionally, its made with an old rooster but since I didn’t have access to an old rooster we choose to make it with all dark meat.  I’m not a big fan of chicken, and when I do eat chicken I generally don’t eat dark meat so I was a little concerned that I wouldn’t like this soup.

But I shouldn’t have worried. If there is one thing I am learning for making stuff at home is that low slow cooking is like deep frying something. No matter what you put in, it comes out tender, juicy, and delicious!!
