- 5 qt water
- 1 lb chicken
- 1 teaspoon pepper ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 carrot cubed
- 1 parsnip sliced
- 1 celery stalk sliced
- 1 red bell pepper cubed
- 2 bay leaves
- ¼ cup vinegar
- 8 oz sour cream
- 3 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoon parsley chopped
Pour about 5qt (aprox. 5L) of water into a soup pot add chicken, salt and pepper, bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes; remove the dark foam from the top with a slotted spoon. Transfer chicken and broth to a bowl and clean your pot if needed. Set aside but... DO NOT THROW AWAY THE BROTH!
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat in the same pot you used to cook the chicken, add the onions and saute for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add carrots, celery, red bell pepper, parsnip to the pot and continue to saute everything for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chicken and bay leaves; fill up the pot with the reserved broth. Bring to boil and cook for 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl mix three egg yolks with sour cream. Gradually add hot broth with a ladle and keep mixing so it doesn't split. When the concoction is hot enough you can pour it to the pot.
Add ¼ cup of vinegar to the soup pot and cook for another 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, add parsley and cover with a lid. Serve in 5 minutes or so.
