Chicken offal soup recipe
Ingredients for 6 servings
- 500 g chicken offal
- 1.5 liters stock
- 4 cloves garlic
- 4 bay leaves
- 3 carrots
- 2 parsley roots
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 red onion
- 1 bunch parsley
- Pepper
- Oil
Preparation
Peel and dice the carrots. Heat up a little oil in a large pan and sauté the vegetables over a slightly higher than medium heat for two to three minutes to bring out their flavor. Slice up the chicken thighs as much as you can.
Add the meat and the diced celery to the vegetables, pour in the stock, add the peeled whole onion and garlic cloves, season with salt and pepper, and add the bay leaves. Simmer the soup for an hour, covered, over a low heat.
If necessary, skim off the foam from time to time. Sprinkle with chopped parsley in the last minutes of cooking.
