Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Gather all the ingredients for the soup. Peel the onion, carrot, and potatoes and rinse them clean under running water. You can use any part of the chicken.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Cover the chicken with cold water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes. As it comes to a boil, foam will form — skim it off. Then lift out the chicken and pull the meat off the bones. Return the meat to the strained broth and bring it back to a boil. Cut the potatoes into small pieces and add them to the pot. Cook everything together for 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    While the potatoes cook in the soup, make the sauté. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrot on a coarse or medium grater.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot skillet and add the chopped onion and carrot. Sauté together for 3–4 minutes, stirring now and then so the vegetables don't burn — scorched sauté can ruin the flavor of the whole soup.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Add the sauté to the pot of soup, then add the pasta. Season with a little salt and spices to taste — a pinch of ground pepper works well. It's best not to add bay leaf to chicken soup, though, since it overpowers the chicken flavor. Stir and simmer everything together for 10 minutes. Then take the pot off the heat and ladle the soup into bowls.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    If you like, sprinkle the soup with fresh herbs before serving.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Your tasty, fragrant soup is ready! Enjoy!

  • For a lighter soup, use chicken breast. For a richer broth, chicken thighs or legs are perfect. To keep the pasta from swelling up overnight, you can toast it briefly in a dry skillet before cooking. You can also swap the pasta for vermicelli, rice, or lentils. Make this soup for lunch for your family — it's delicious and filling!
