Chicken Soup

... for the soul.


I have been sick with flu for more than a week now - not fun! The weather here in Denmark has been really moody and it is slowly getting on my nerves. Spent more time in the kitchen, though, which made me happy :-)

Chicken soup was one of the dishes I decided to make immediately. As a sick person, you need a lot of warm fluids and this one is just what I am talking about - just like my mum used to make :-)


CHICKEN SOUP:
(Kuracia polievka)
2 chicken breasts*2 carrots1 parsnip root1/4 celery bulb1 onion
1 bunch fresh parsleysaltblack pepper* NOTE: My mum puts chicken intenstines into the soup instead of breasts. It is a great way of using chicken leftovers. If using, boil the intenstines first (for abt 40 min) and then towards the end, add the chopped veggies.

Clean the breasts and pat dry. Wash and peel the root veggies and cut into big bite-sized pieces. Peel and halve the onion. Organize the parsley into a buquet and tie a piece of thread around it.

Bring about a litre of water to boil together with the meat and veggies. Throw in the parsley buquet and cook on low heat until the carrots are soft.

Take the chicken pieces out and break into smaller pieces. Put back to the soup, adjust salt and pepper to taste.


Done :-)
