Ingredients

  • 800 g Meat, chicken, thighs

  • 2 piece Onion, raw

  • 3 pieces Carrot, fresh

  • 2 piece Green, raw

  • 1 piece Parsley, fresh

  • 3 pods Garlic, fresh

  • 1 piece Spices, bay (leaves)

  • 6 twig Parsley, fresh

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

  • 1 pinch Spices, pepper, black

Steps

  1. Wash and dry the chicken meat. Peel the onion and cut it into quarters. Peel the carrot and parsley root and roughly chop them into smaller pieces. Wash the celery and also cut it into smaller pieces.

  2. Place all the chopped vegetables into a pot, place the chicken meat on top, add two unpeeled garlic cloves, salt, pepper, three sprigs of parsley, a bay leaf, and pour in about two liters of water. Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil.

  3. When the soup boils, skim off the foam from the surface with a skimmer, reduce the temperature, and simmer the soup uncovered on low heat for at least one hour. Skim off the foam occasionally.

  4. Remove the chicken meat from the soup, let it cool slightly, and remove the skin and bones. Cut the meat into smaller pieces or shred it by hand. Optionally, remove the garlic, onion, and parsley sprigs from the soup.

  5. Return the meat to the soup. Coarsely chop the remaining parsley.

  6. Serve the soup in bowls and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.

Advice

If we want a less fatty soup, we can use white chicken meat without skin, such as chicken breasts. The flavor of the chicken soup will be more pronounced if we use home-raised chicken. Strain the remaining soup through a sieve to get a clear chicken soup that can be frozen or used to prepare some dishes.
