Connemara Cottage Chicken and Veg Soup

This post finds me out in the rugged wild west of Ireland temporarily lodging in a rustic whitewash cottage, living the simple life. We cooked up a culinary storm earlier having a roast chicken with a delicious side of sweet potato and carrot mash baked with broccoli and topped with cheese and a sauce consisting…
