Carina's chicken soup

Ingredients for 5 servings:

• 1 large chicken
• 2 liters of water
• 1 bunch of soup vegetables
• 1 large kohlrabi
• 3 bay leaves
• 3 juniper berries
• some caraway
• some fennel seeds
• n. B. Salt
• 1 tbsp, heaped chicken broth, granulated

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes

Bring the water to a boil in a large pot and add the salt, caraway seeds, fennel seeds, juniper berries, and bay leaves. Once the broth is boiling, add the chicken and simmer for a good 1.5 hours. Then remove the chicken and let it cool slightly in a sieve. Pour the broth through a fine sieve to remove the caraway seeds and juniper berries. While the chicken is cooling, dice the vegetables and kohlrabi into medium-sized cubes. Add the vegetables to the broth and let it simmer slightly. Remove the meat from the bones and add it to the soup. You can now season the soup with chicken broth. I like to use organic products here. The soup can, of course, be refined with small noodles or rice, but I like it very much as it is. A little tip: When I peel the vegetables, I always save the peeled leftovers and freeze them. They’re always good for broth and too good to throw away.
