Anyway, she starts by first frying few carrot and parsley slices on oil. This frying is what imparts new flavors in the veggies. She then adds water, one onion, and the full chicken. Cover, and cook for about an hour and half, basically until the chicken is done. That's it. No scooping out, no two pots, etc... Well little bit of scooping of the muck that forms on the surface.
She also taught me a little trick about noodles. She makes her own, so they are little bit more floury than the store bought kind. But to get a really clear broth (the way we like it in Slovakia), you cook the noodles separately, strain them and then place them in a pot of cold water to clean them up. Then add them to the soup bowl, and top off with the soup. Hmmm delicious!
Hey there, lubos from slovakcooking.com here. Great video! And that's a lot of soup! :)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to show you how my grandma makes chicken noodle soup. The ingredients are similar to yours but the steps are little different. You can see the full recipe at http://www.slovakcooking.com/2010/recipes/chicken-noodle-soup/
