This is very simple soup, traditional Sunday lunch starter in Croatian families. It must be cooked on very low fire for 3 to 4 hours. My recommendation is to use old chicken – the one which is too hard to grill or fry. You can also do it with turkey.
Ingredients:
600 g chicken
60 g chicken livers
20 g chicken (hearts)
20 g chicken (stomach)
200 g carrots
100 g tomatoes (or one whole tomato)
150 g onions
100 g parsley roots
50 g celery root
10 g kale (leaf)
10 g salt
10 g black pepper (whole berries)
3 liters water (cold)
Directions:
1. Put cold water in a pot (appropriate large pot). If you want better soup put chicken in cold water, if you want better chicken meat put it in hot water.
2. Rind carrots, onion, parsley, celery and put all other ingredients into water. Boil and after it boils reduce heat and cook for 3 to 4 hours.
3. Filter the soup into separate pot.
4. If you want, put into strained soup carrots, chicken meat (or liver, stomach, or hearts) and add noodles or whatever you like in soup and serve.
