Chicken soup

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 soup chicken
• 1 onion(s)
• 2 cups rice
• 5 carrots
• 2 stalk(s) leeks
• ½ celery root
• 3 carnations
• 1 bay leaf
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour 45 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 5 minutes

Add the chicken to the soup pot (3/4 full of water). Simmer for 1 hour. Finely chop the vegetables (e.g., dice them) and add them after 1 hour. Simmer everything for about 30 minutes. Then add the rice, cloves, and bay leaf, and cook for another 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken, skin it, remove the meat from the bones, and add it to the soup in bite-sized pieces. Tip: Place the cloves and bay leaf in a tea strainer and hang it in the pot. This makes it easier to remove the spices and saves you the hassle of fishing them off the plate later.
