It is necessary
-
- chicken carcass;
- water;
- onion;
- parsley root;
- celery;
- carrot;
- salt.
Instructions
Step 1
Cut well-cleaned and washed chicken into pieces. Dip them in a deep saucepan and cover with cold water
Step 2
Place the pot on the stove and simmer over low heat for about half an hour. After the water begins to boil, foam will form on its surface, which must be removed with a slotted spoon.
Step 3
When you have removed all excess from the broth, leave it to simmer over low heat for another two hours. The most important thing is not to let the liquid boil. About an hour before the end of cooking, parsley root, celery, onions with husks can be dipped into the pan. These spices will give your food a unique aroma and a pleasant golden hue.
Step 4
Let the finished broth settle a little. Then remove accumulated grease from the surface and strain the liquid through a napkin or sieve.
Step 5
If the cooked broth turns out to be cloudy, it is necessary to introduce a draft into it. Pass the chicken meat through a meat grinder, add the bones and wings of the poultry to it. Fill them with cold water and leave for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. Then add some beaten egg whites and salt to the meat. Sauté carrots, onions and celery separately. Into the finished broth (its temperature should be no more than 60 degrees), add a draft and fried vegetables. Place the pot over high heat. After the liquid boils, skim off the foam and reduce the heat. Cook the broth for another hour and a half. After cooking, be sure to strain it.
Step 6
If you want to add cereals, vegetables, pasta, then you need to cook them separately and fill in with ready-made hot broth. This is the only way to preserve its transparency. The finished chicken broth has a pleasant yellow color and delicate aroma. This dish is served on the table in a special dish - a bouillon dish. Croutons, croutons and pies are a great addition to this soup.
