| Chicken on a Throne: rubbed, prepped, and ready for the grill |
I guess really good soups are supposed to be a bit involved. So with an eye to creating a batch of BBQ chicken soup sometime this week, I had thrown a chicken on a beer can and smoked it on the kamado grill this past Sunday. I'd been sent the soup recipe sometime back; its sender had raved about it. Turns out, there was good reason to.

| Beer, cider vinegar, onion, garlic, and spices |
 |
| Settled onto the grill |
 |
| Four Hours Later: resting primly |
That juicy, flavorful, succulent meat has been waiting for me in the fridge, and tonight I brought it out. Then I got down to the rest of the prep for the soup, which is told mostly in the pictures and captions below. This recipe for BBQ Chicken Soup was time-intensive but not as bad as some soups might be. And the result made it quite worth it.
 |
| Diced applewood-smoked thick-cut bacon |
 |
| Bacon Cooking |
 |
| Diced fresh vine-ripe tomatoes from Ronnie's Country Store |
 |
| Diced Onion |
 |
| Tomato, onion, garlic, and spices cooking in the bacon grease |
 |
| Beer, cider vinegar, chicken stock, corn, and other goodies added in |
 |
| Diced beercan chicken |
 |
| Blendering of the cooked soup |
 |
Chicken and fire-roasted tomatoes added after blending
(I should have done two beercan chickens, though, instead of just one.) |
 |
The finished soup, with a bacon garnish,
served in Roediger House stoneware.
And delicious. |

The process, the product, the pictures; masterful creations, all.
This was as good as advertised. We ate it with grilled pimento cheese and tomato sandwiches.
Now this is on my must try list...looks amazing.
