Chicken Soup / Rosół z Kury

Chicken soup, the queen of Polish soups and an essential element of Sunday dinner. It’s not really complicated, but it may cause a lot of trouble for the ones who are just starting their culinary adventure. Therefore I wanted to introduce you to the simplest but delicious recipe. 6-7 chicken thighs (or half a chicken) 2 carrots (medium) 1 parsley root (medium) 1/4 celery root 1/4 leek 1 yellow onion (medium) 2 garlic cloves (optional) 4 liters water 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste) 1 pinch ground black pepper (to taste) 2 tablespoons chopped green parsley leaves (optional) 1-2 cubes chicken bouillon (optional) 60 grams dry pasta per person Wash the meat thoroughly. I removed the skin so that the broth is not too greasy. Place the meat in a pot cover with water. Put the pot on the stove over medium to high heat until it starts to boil. Scum will begin to form which needs to be removed for clarity. I usually pour the first water out and refill with fresh water. Bring it to boil again over medium heat removing the scum until its clear. Prior to placing vegetables make sure your meat is less than half way tender. If you are using Amish or stewing chicken you may have to simmer longer on low heat. It all depends on the meat. Place peeled and cut into smaller pieces vegetables – carrots, parsley root, celery root, onion, garlic as well as washed leek. Add the washed parsley leaves to the pot as well as the lavage (optional). You may toast the onion first for a specific taste in the soup. You may add 2 chicken bouillons from a Polish deli store, (Optional). Place black pepper and a large pinch of salt. Cook for about 2 hours over a low heat under a slightly opened lid. Serve the broth with noodles cooked in salted water, add cubed carrot, broth, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. I like to add dill. You can add chicken leg meat to the plates with broth For full recipe visit my website at: https://mypolishcuisine.com/2023/02/2...
