  • potato 250 g
  • vermicelli 100 g
  • onion 1 PC. medium size
  • carrot 100 g
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
  • Bay leaf

The quantities of ingredients are indicated for cooking in a three-liter saucepan.

Preparation

First we need to cook the broth. I use chicken fillet for the broth, although, of course, broth is usually not cooked from fillet, because... it costs more, but gives less flavor and richness to the broth. However, I don’t really like too rich, fatty broth, and it’s much easier to work with fillet (you don’t have to clean it, there’s no waste left). If you want to cook a really rich chicken broth, then you should use a whole chicken or chicken; you need to cook it for 1.5-2 hours over low heat.

So, wash and cut the chicken fillet into medium-sized pieces.

Pour cold water into the pan and place the chicken in it.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to almost a minimum and cook for about 20 minutes, periodically skimming off the foam.

If you want your meat to turn out delicious, then you need to add salt as soon as it boils, and if you want it to turn out beautiful clear broth, then you need to add salt at the end of cooking. When the water boils, it is advisable not to cover the pan with a lid, then the broth will be transparent.

While the chicken is cooking in the pan, prepare the vegetables for the soup. There they are, waiting for me.

Three carrots on a medium grater.

Finely chop the onion and place it in a frying pan with preheated sunflower oil for frying at medium power. As you may have noticed, I usually cut the onion into quarter rings. Let's add a little salt.

After 3 minutes, add carrots to the onions, which are good for soup only when fried; simply boiled carrots are generally no good. Carrots only give off color and flavor when roasted. After another 3 minutes, remove the pan from the heat.

Cut the potatoes into wedges or cubes.

When the chicken is cooked, remove the pieces of meat from the broth. Cool them a little and cut them into medium-sized pieces.

Add potatoes to the boiling broth.

After 10 minutes, add onions, carrots and chicken.

Next, add the vermicelli and stir so that it does not stick together.

Now you should salt the soup to taste and pepper (you can add bay leaf to taste). Cook for as long as indicated on the vermicelli package minus 1 minute. We remove the pan from the stove, wait a couple of minutes and you can call your household members to the table for lunch. By the way, the vermicelli will not be left undercooked; there is no need to be afraid; it will finish cooking as it cools.

Ready. Pour it into plates and sprinkle with herbs. Bon appetit!

As many nutritionists say, soups do not have to be included in your diet, because they do not provide any benefit to the body. It is enough to consume 2 glasses more liquid, and you can refuse. Of course, it’s hard to argue with this, because after prolonged cooking there are practically no vitamins and microelements left in vegetables, but... But homemade soup is so tasty and cozy that I don’t even think of giving up cooking them. I especially love cooking soups in golden, clear chicken broth. Today I bring you a basic recipe. So, we prepare soup with chicken broth - simple and tasty.

Ingredients (for a 4 liter saucepan):

- chicken on the bone (preferably homemade) – 500 g;
- onions – 2 pcs. (medium size);
- carrots – 2 pcs. (medium size);
- “old” potatoes - 4-5 tubers (small);
- bay leaf – 1 pc.;
- allspice peas – 3-4 pcs.;
- table salt – 1 tbsp. l.;
- ground black pepper – 1/2 tsp;
- Provençal herbs – 1 tsp;
- turmeric, paprika and other seasonings - to taste;
- odorless vegetable oil – 3-5 tbsp. l.

Recipe with photos step by step:




1. First prepare the broth. I always cook poultry first courses. The broth turns out to be richer, more aromatic and less harmful. If you have chicken from a poultry farm, it is better to immerse it in cold water and boil it for 10 minutes after boiling. Then drain the first broth and cook the soup according to the recipe. It is best to cook chicken broth on the bone; the fillet will not produce a rich taste and color. I usually use the bones that remain after cutting the chicken into portions, but you can also use legs, drumsticks, thighs, etc. Wash the chicken meat thoroughly, remove any remaining feathers, cut excess fat, films and cores. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place in a saucepan. To make the broth taste bright, you need to cook the chicken with vegetables and spices. I took the standard set - onions, carrots, bay leaves and allspice. Peel the vegetables and wash them thoroughly. There is no need to chop them finely. Large carrots can be cut into 2-3 parts, no more. Leave the onion whole or halve. In addition to the ingredients listed above, you can add celery or parsley root, a bunch of greens tied with thread, etc. to the broth.




2. Pour the contents of the pan clean water and put on fire. Cook after boiling for 2-2.5 hours over low heat, without covering. I indicated the time for homemade chicken; for store-bought chicken, 1-1.5 hours will be enough. The broth should barely simmer, otherwise it will turn out cloudy. A grayish foam cap will periodically appear on its surface; it must be removed with a slotted spoon. You can also cook broth in a slow cooker using a special program or the “Multi-cook” mode. My slow cooker cooks under pressure, so it only takes 45 minutes to create flavorful chicken stock for soup.




3. While the broth is cooking, I suggest not wasting time, but preparing the other ingredients of the chicken soup. Peel the potatoes, carrots and onions and wash thoroughly.




4. Prepare roasted vegetables. Coarsely grate the carrots or cut into thin strips.






5. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or saucepan. Place carrots there. Stirring, fry until soft.




6. In the meantime, cut the onion into small cubes.




7. Add it to the soft carrots, stir. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown, do not forget to stir the frying, otherwise it will burn.




8. Remove soft rosy vegetables from heat and cool.






9. Prepare the potatoes. To prevent it from turning black while you are preparing other vegetables, you can fill it with cold, clean water. Cut it into cubes or bars. I like my potatoes to be soft in my soup, so I prefer starchy varieties. If you want the potatoes to retain their shape and texture in a dish, choose low-starch tubers, which usually have a white core.




10. Remove the chicken from the finished broth and let it cool. Also remove spices and vegetables, they will no longer be needed. Place the pan with the broth back on the fire and bring to a boil.




11. Add potatoes. Cook after boiling again for about 10 minutes.




12. Add frying and stir. If the soup is not thick enough, you can add half a glass of rice or buckwheat. Cook the dish for 15-20 minutes until all ingredients are soft.




13. Remove the cooled chicken from the bone and cut or disassemble into fibers, add to the pan.




14. Add salt.




15. And add seasonings. It is not necessary to indicate the spices indicated in the recipe; you can choose them to suit your taste.




16. Cook the soup for another 5-7 minutes. 1-2 minutes before readiness, you can add a small bunch of fresh, finely chopped herbs and turn off the stove after the soup boils. Serve warm or hot. This is how you get soup with chicken broth - very simple and tasty.
