    I would agree, getting a chicken and roasting it yourself would yield a better result. For even better results, look up Heston and how he prepares his chicken. Far, far outweighs what was shown here.

    You should try coffee soup. My mother's family was very poor when she was a child in the 50s. She says she and her siblings often had coffee soup for breakfast before school. It's literally just coffee prepared the way you like it (for the kids it had lots of milk and sugar) and poured over buttered bread or crackers in a bowl.

    Emmy, have you ever watched ancient recipes with Solha on the history Channel, it's really interesting and I really think you'd enjoy watching it. I also think she had a YouTube channel too.

    Interesting video. A way to use every drop of the chicken. Wasn't familiar with the thickening method using butter and flour. I love hot sour soup and always add lemon juice to mine as well so would probably like this "soup". Now I need a rotisserie chicken. LOL

    It sounds like maybe it was designed to use ALL of the drippings, not just the small amount of juice that ended up leaking from the meat in the bag. There looks to be virtually no fat to "cut" but I think a bit more sugar would definitely help with the sourness too. Another part with a home-roasted chicken, perhaps?

    That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen, I mean the ingredients was sickening. Why would you even consider cooking something like that I mean that is just gross and nasty. Next!

    I'm so curious now about how this would taste with drippings from a homeroasted chicken after seeing all the comments suggesting it! I can see how original chicken drippings with all of the fat from the skin and would really balance the acid. Emmy, would you consider doing Doodle Soup Redux with fattier drippings from your own roast chicken? I think it would be fun to see how much it changes the flavor!

    Emmy,

    This is the recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies I would like you to try. They're good with regular white sugar, or Splenda or similar substitute. for a 50/50 1/2 sugar free cookie. I've been making PB cookies since I was a young boy, but this is what I come up with 20+ years ago, and they are the best, and only ones I make anymore. I'm not looking for credit for them, I just want to share the flavor and joy of eating them. If you like them, make a video to share with people, no need to credit me. I just want to share with others.

    Peanut Butter Cookies
    2½ Cups Flour
    ½ Teaspoon Salt
    ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
    1 Cup Butter Flavored Crisco
    1 18oz Jar of Jif Extra Crunchy PB (or 1 cup smooth PB)
    1 Cup White Sugar (or 1 cup Splenda)
    1 Cup Brown Sugar (or 1 cup Splenda + 1-2 teaspoons of molasses)
    2 Eggs
    1 Teaspoon Vanilla

    Preheat oven to 375° F
    Mix Flour, Salt & Baking Soda. Set aside.

    In large bowl mix Sugars, and Crisco. mix in eggs. Next, add Vanilla and Peanut Butter and mix well. Add Flour mix and mix into a dough. Form 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Press each ball with fork in a crisscross pattern. Bake for 10 -15 min. until lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheet and let cool. Yields about 4 dozen

    If you substitute the Crisco or Jif, they wont have the same flavor and texture, but still good. Using Splenda will change the texture some. I only sub it for the white sugar. Enjoy.

    Emmy I am from Bradford TN and every family here have a different recipe for the Doodle Soup they make. I have never heard the red wine vinegar and we use red pepper flakes and my mother in law taught me how she made it. We use reg vinegar and she baked the chicken with a stick of butter and a splash of the vinegar and no sugar and some water. She said it was easier and you got all the pan drippings and the chicken had a mild vinegar taste and was served with homemade biscuits and mashed potatoes along with a mayo based coleslaw and if you don't like vinegar just try a couple of Tbls of it. If you like a vinegar based BBQ sauce you will probably like this too!!! Glad you gave our little town some attention it deserves. And then down the highway is a very small community of Skullbone… Another tale for another day but you can read articles and watch videos of this community…

    Very bizzare that ive watched two cooking videos in one day, and theyre both mentioning the butter+flour thickening method and it is the first time i've heard of it(both videos within an hour). The other channel was Glen and Friends. I think its called Beurre manié.

    I think this could be done with a store bought rotisserie chicken (even though a home roasted one would definitely yield considerably better volume of drippings and juice as others have pointed out) but a 1:1 ratio of juice to vinegar is definitely going to result in vinegar soup given chicken has quite a mild flavour. That said, a very brief online search suggests that the soup is meant to be quite vinegary. It seems like a recipe that would be best done with the base ingredients of drippings and water and then adding vinegar and spice gradually until you get your preferred taste profile. That said, as someone who LOVES the taste of vinegar, I'd definitely be happy to try a a 1:1 ratio!

    Maybe a second attempt with a home cooked chicken to see how different it is?

    I was thinking it would be really cool if you did a video on making your own clotted cream. I’ve never seen it available in stores in the USA, and you could have fresh biscuits or scones and jam.

    You need to redo this to do it right. You need to cook the chicken and catch the droppings there, as well the juices as it cools.And you used wayyyy too much vinegar! You didn't give it a proper chance, even if you enjoyed it after you got acclimated to what you made. You didn't do it justice. 🥲
