Sauerkraut soup with chicken and celery

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Measure out the required ingredients. Peel the potatoes and onions. I used sauerkraut with carrots, so I didn’t add any additional carrots. If you have cabbage without carrots, you can add fresh cabbage by grating it. I highly recommend adding a stalk of celery to the broth. It will add a pleasant aroma and taste that will go well with sauerkraut, and will also provide a pleasant green tint to the dish. Also wash the dill and chop finely.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken fillet, dry with paper towels, remove films and fat layers and cut into medium cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the chicken, whole onion and peeled celery stalk into the pan. Pour in high-quality filtered or bottled water. Place the pan on the fire. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms. The amount of water can be increased or decreased depending on what kind of soup you want to prepare: thick or thinner.

4. STEP 4

   

   Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken pieces from the broth and place them in a separate container.

5. STEP 5

   

   Strain the broth through a fine sieve or a piece of gauze folded in half. Return the pan with the strained broth to the fire.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the broth boils, add the chopped potatoes. Cook over low heat, stirring, for about 10 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Return the boiled chicken pieces to the soup.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add sauerkraut with carrots. For a brighter taste and aroma, you can add a little brine to the soup. Cook for another 5 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add chopped fresh dill to the cabbage soup.

10. STEP 10

    

    Turn off the heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let the soup brew for 10-15 minutes. Then pour into plates and serve before it cools down.
