Cheese soup with croutons and chicken

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook cheese soup with croutons and chicken? Prepare your food. Instead of legs, you can use any other part of the chicken. Thaw frozen meat first. Choose high-quality, natural cheese, without vegetable fats - it tastes better and goes better in the soup. Read the article at the end of this recipe for how to replace different types of cheese.

2. STEP 2

   

   First of all, prepare the crackers. Any white bread will do for them. Cut it into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the bread pieces on a baking sheet. Place it in the oven preheated to 170°C for 10-15 minutes. Dry the crackers until golden brown. If they brown earlier, take them out without waiting for the end of time.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour clean cold water over the chicken legs. Place the pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, skim off the foam with a slotted spoon or spoon. Reduce heat to low, add salt and peppercorns. Cover the pan with a lid and leave to cook for 40-60 minutes, depending on the parts of the chicken. An article on this topic will help you decide on a pan. Read the link at the end of this recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the carrots and grate on a coarse grater.

7. STEP 7

   

   Peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes.

8. STEP 8

   

   While the broth is cooking, fry it. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, pour vegetable oil into it for frying. Place onions and carrots in oil. Fry them, stirring, over low heat for about 5 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   When the chicken is ready, remove it from the broth. Throw the potatoes and fry into the pan. Cook the soup for another 15 minutes until the potatoes are soft—they should break apart easily with a spoon.

10. STEP 10

    

    When the potatoes are ready, add cheese and chopped chicken (separated from the bones) into the soup. Boil the soup until the cheese is completely dissolved, this will take about 5 minutes. Boil the soup for another minute, then turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and leave to stand for 10-15 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    Serve chicken cheese soup with white bread croutons; if desired, you can sprinkle it with chopped herbs. Bon appetit!

For the first course I prepared cheese soup with croutons and chicken. Delicate creamy taste and aroma make the soup amazingly delicious! And it won’t take too much time to prepare. For the soup, I took chicken drumsticks, which I boiled and pitted. While the meat was cooking, I overcooked the onions and carrots. I put the cleaned meat back into the pan, added overcooking, and brought it to a boil. Then I added the diced potatoes. After a few minutes, I added the cheese, stirred until the cheese melted and at the end added the chopped dill. When serving, I added croutons. There are no words, the soup is amazing! Thank you very much katushafin for the recipe!🤗
