Belgian chicken soup Ghent Waterzooi

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   The first step is to cook the broth. To do this, you need to take a saucepan and pour about two liters of water into it. Place the whole chicken in the water (you can use any parts of the chicken). One peeled onion. And we also send spices there: dried thyme, bay leaf and a teaspoon of allspice. Put the pan on the fire. Cook over medium heat for about one hour.

2. STEP 2

   

   Now vegetables. Potatoes need to be peeled and cut into small pieces. Peel the carrots and cut them into slightly smaller pieces. Peel the onion and chop finely. We also cut the celery stalks into small pieces.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then cream (it is better to take cream that is thicker and fattier). And mix the egg yolks well. Beat a little with a fork.

4. STEP 4

   

   When the broth is cooked, remove from heat. Place all the chicken from the pan onto a plate and the onion. We won't need the onion anymore.

5. STEP 5

   

   Now you will need to strain the broth through a fine sieve.

6. STEP 6

   

   Take a clean pan and pour a little vegetable oil into it. Put it on the fire, add the onion and press it for five minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then add the rest of the vegetables: potatoes, celery and carrots. Fill them with super aromatic broth and cook until the potatoes are ready.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cool the chicken from the broth a little. Carefully remove all the meat from the bones and cut it into small pieces.

9. STEP 9

   

   When the vegetables were cooked, they became soft. Season the soup with salt to taste and add chopped chicken. Mix.

10. STEP 10

    

    Now, constantly stirring the soup, pour in the cream and yolks in a thin stream. Still mixing well, you may need to add some salt. And cook for another five minutes. And the Belgian soup is ready.
