Nettle soup with egg potato and chicken

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook nettle soup with egg, potatoes and chicken? Prepare the products. For the broth, take any parts of the chicken, I have these shins, but thighs, fillets, and the skeleton left over from cutting into fillets will do. Boil the eggs beforehand. Pick young nettles, trying to take only the top fresh shoots. Be careful, it burns a lot, use gloves.

2. Step 2:

   

   First of all, fill the shins with cold clean water and put a saucepan with them on a small fire to cook. While the broth is boiling, prepare the nettles. Put it in a bowl, fill it with cold water and rinse it thoroughly to wash off the dirt and sand. Then drain the water. Do all this with gloves, the nettle is still burning. To save her from this, pour boiling water over the nettle and hold it in it for one minute.

3. Step 3:

   

   Drain the boiling water from the nettle, collect the grass itself into a ball and squeeze it slightly. Cut the nettles quite finely, like cutting greens.

4. Step 4:

   

   Rinse the dill with water, dry it and also chop it finely with a knife. Instead of dill (or together with it), you can take any other greens. Set aside the nettles and dill for now.

5. Step 5:

   

   The broth will boil in the meantime, remove the foam from it with a slotted spoon. Add salt, turn down the heat and cook the broth under a closed lid for 30-40 minutes, depending on the parts of the chicken.

6. Step 6:

   

   Prepare the vegetables in the meantime. Peel the onion and cut into small pieces.

7. Step 7:

   

   Wash, peel and cut the carrots into small pieces. Or grate on a coarse grater, as you prefer.

9. Step 8:

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into large cubes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Peel the eggs and cut into cubes.

11. Step 10:

    

    The broth has already boiled the required time, throw potatoes into it.

12. Step 11:

    

    And then onions and carrots. Cover the pan with a lid again and cook the soup for 15 minutes, the potatoes should become soft.

13. Step 12:

    

    Add chopped eggs to the soup. Wait for it to boil, boil it for just a couple of minutes.

14. Step 13:

    

    Add chopped nettles and dill. Mix it up. Wait again when the soup boils and immediately turn off the fire — this way you will save both the color and vitamins of the nettle. Cover the pan with a lid and hold for 10 minutes.

15. Step 14:

    

    Serve the soup to the table with sour cream and rye bread. Bon appetit!
