| 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. My sister had sent me the soup recipe sometime back and had raved about it. Turns out, she had 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.
