The drink, which is more than a hundred years old, is stillis popular not only in the country where it was invented, but also in other countries (today there are already about 200 of them). Coca-Cola is the most expensive brand, and its popularity is not going to give up its positions. At the very beginning of production, Coca-Cola consisted of coca leaves and cola tree nuts. The first ingredient, by the way, served as the basis for the extraction of the drug cocaine, the use of which was permitted at that time and which was used in drinks instead of alcohol. Do not be surprised, because the recipe for the drink was invented by a pharmacist. Initially, such a drink was intended for calming and treating all kinds of disorders. The Coca-Cola machine was installed in a pharmacy, and a glass of it cost only 5 cents. There were few customers in the first year of the enterprise, and there was no profit. However, every year there were more and more people wanting to try the miracle drink (which got rid of impotence and allowed you to switch from morphine to coca). And those who tried it, came to the pharmacy again and again. Coca-Cola is not only a drink that is consumed to quench thirst, but also a component of this or that recipe. The drink has enough useful substances for this. For example, Coca-Cola is often used to marinate meat dishes, to season okroshka and even to cook soups and main courses. To do this, you can mix Coca-Cola with your favorite sauce and season chicken wings with the resulting mixture, for example. If you pour carbonated water over the meat for shashlik, the meat will be much softer. And if you use Coca-Cola, the pieces will become slightly glazed and acquire a unique caramel flavor.

Preparation of various soups from Coca-Cola

As already mentioned, Coca-Cola is quite oftenis used when the recipe and the dish itself require special aroma, lightness or when you do not have enough time. So, you can make soup from such a drink only on the basis of Coca-Cola (instead of broth) or use it for intermediate preparation of other components of the soup. And if this drink is known to all children from an early age, then the recipe for its preparation is still a secret, which has been kept in strict confidence for more than 100 years.

Recipe for chicken soup with toast with the addition of Coca-Cola

So, let's start with a less complicated method.cooking. The recipe for chicken soup with Coca-Cola is not much different from a similar one, but without soda. First, readers should be informed that this recipe is suitable for people who do not have stomach problems. After all, a drink like Coca-Cola is not always healthy, especially for those whose stomach is not quite healthy. In addition, the soup involves quite fatty frying of vegetables and meat. So, to begin with, we need the following ingredients:

• Chicken fillet - 500-600 g,
• 1 onion (can be a leek),
• 4 potatoes,
• Sour cream — 300 g,
• Butter,
• Greenery,
• Spice,
• Water.

First, pour 1 liter of water into a saucepan and put it onheat over medium heat. At this time, wash the meat and cut the fillet into cubes. Put a small portion (about 150-200 g) into boiling water to make chicken broth. The remaining meat can be marinated for a short time. The marinade recipe includes the following products:

• Lemon juice,
• Salt,
• Pepper,
• Garlic,
• Soy sauce,
• Coca-Cola (small tin can) - about 250 g.

So, for the marinade we salt and pepper the chicken,pour lemon juice and leave for a few minutes in a closed cup. Half an hour will be enough. Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes. As soon as the marinade time comes, heat the frying pan and pour in the vegetable oil. Put the onion in the hot frying pan and put the chicken. The main condition: the frying should be cooked over high heat. Fry it so that it acquires a bright golden hue on all sides. After that, pour soy sauce into the frying pan and then add Coca-Cola. Cook the chicken over medium heat for another 10 minutes. Turn off and let the frying sit for a while. Return to the broth. Put in a piece of butter, diced potatoes, and the frying. Cook the soup over medium heat for 10-15 minutes. When serving, garnish the soup with herbs and sour cream. Another version of this soup can be a cream soup. The frying is prepared similarly to the above recipe (only the onion is fried separately), but the puree is a little different. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the potatoes and fried onions. Add 3 quarters of a glass of chicken broth to this saucepan and cook everything until the potatoes are ready (15-20 minutes). After that, using a blender, grind everything to a puree consistency. Pour in a little milk or cream, put on low heat and cook for 5-10 minutes. When serving, put a few pieces of fried chicken in the cream soup, sprinkle with herbs. As with any other cream soup, serve croutons with it. To prepare them, pieces of white bread can be greased with the sauce in which the meat was fried and baked in the oven. Other meat ingredients can be prepared in exactly the same way: lamb, beef and pork. And instead of soy sauce, many add a few spoons of regular ketchup. In order for the result to justify itself, it is necessary to fry the meat until the sauce on it becomes very thick. Otherwise, after you put the meat in the broth, all the dressing from the Coca-Cola and sauce will wash off, the meat may become absolutely tasteless. Therefore, either spend more time on the marinade, or wait until the sauce hardens well.
