  • Start the miner's soup with the broth. Rinse the chicken (any part works) under running water and put it in a pot. Cover with the water for the broth and bring it to a boil over high heat. As it nears a boil, watch closely and skim off all the foam with a spoon. Reduce the heat to its lowest and simmer the broth for 45 minutes — chicken is soft and tender, so that's enough time for it to cook through while the broth takes on all its flavor. While the meat cooks, prep the vegetables. Peel and rinse the potatoes, onion, and carrot. Cut the potatoes into sticks. Once the broth is ready, take out the meat and add the potatoes. Set the chicken aside on a plate to cool. Pick over the buckwheat to remove any debris and unhulled grains, then rinse it several times until it's completely clean and the water runs clear. When the potatoes have cooked for 7 minutes, add the buckwheat, stir, and keep simmering over low heat. Dice the peeled onion and grate the carrot on the coarse holes of a grater. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet, add the vegetables, and sauté until done. Don't leave them in the pan once they're ready, or they'll lose their color and won't look as nice in the finished soup — add them to the pot right away. Keep cooking until the potatoes and buckwheat are done. Add the salt, simmer for another 2 minutes, and turn off the heat. Wash and dry the parsley, chop it finely, and add it once everything else is fully cooked — adding it too early and cooking it too long can make it mushy, bland, and faded. You can swap the parsley for other herbs (dill, green onion). Pull the cooked chicken off the bone, cut it into small pieces, and put some in each bowl. Ladle the soup over it and serve hot. Enjoy!
