Recipe
Once you have verified the availabilitythe necessary ingredients specified in the recipe, we begin cooking. First of all, you need to thoroughly wash the chicken or chicken legs. Remove everything that cannot be eaten. Often, feather particles remain on the skin, they must be pulled out. Next, put the chicken or legs in a large saucepan and fill with cool water. Put on high heat. The most important thing is not to miss the moment of boiling of the broth, as foam will form, and it must be removed in time. If you do not do this and the water boils, the foam will become heavier and will spread throughout the broth. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but the soup will not have a beautiful appearance. If you still missed the moment of boiling and at the same time want the broth to have an attractive appearance, then you can drain all the broth and fill the chicken with new water, but this time be sure to use hot water. Let the chicken cook for a little. The cooking time depends on how young the chicken was before it got into your pan. Usually the time varies from 30 minutes to 2 hours. To determine whether you can continue cooking or not, you need to take a knife and pierce the chicken breast. If the knife goes in smoothly, then you can continue. While the broth is cooking, prepare the potatoes, carrots and onions. All these vegetables need to be peeled. When you are sure that the chicken is soft, throw the whole onion into the pan. When the onion is cooked in the chicken broth, it makes it more transparent and gives it a delicious aroma. Next, put in the diced potatoes and grated carrots. You can sauté the carrots or put them raw. It all depends on your preferences. It turns out delicious in any case. If you decide to put them raw, then do this at the same time as the potatoes, if you want to sauté the carrots, then add them ten minutes before the whole soup is ready. You need to sauté the carrots on low heat for about half an hour so that they don't get too browned, but still have time to cook. Now you need to decide how you want the chicken to look in the finished soup.
