{{ :recipes:georgian_chicken_soup.jpg?direct&150|}} ====== Georgian Chicken Soup ====== /* Description */ **Milk Street Says:** Simmering whole spices and fresh herbs in the broth imparted more flavor than our usual method of seasoning and thickening soups — sauteing ground spices in a roux. We liked the hint of heat from red pepper flakes, but they can be left out for a milder version. We preferred the simplicity of this soup with just carrots and onions, but some versions of chikhirtma include cubed potatoes, asparagus, corn or peas; add any of these cooked veggies to the simmering soup. {(rater>id=100|name=Georgian Chicken Soup|type=rate|headline=off)} |**Preheat:** °|**Yield:** servings|| |**Prep:** 0:30|**Wait:** 0:15|**Cook:** 1:00| ====== Ingredients ====== **For the broth** * 1 bunch fresh cilantro * 1 bunch fresh dill * 2 1/2-3 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken legs * 10 cups water * 1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered * 1 garlic head, halved crosswise * 2 teaspoons kosher salt * 1 teaspoon black peppercorns * 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds * 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) * 1 3-inch cinnamon stick * 2 bay leaves **For the soup** * 1 pound carrots (about 5 medium), peeled, halved lengthwise and cut into ½-inch pieces * 1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped (about 1½ cups) * 3 tablespoons salted butter * 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt * 1/2 cup dry vermouth * 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour * 6 large egg yolks * 1/4 cup lemon juice (1 to 2 lemons) * Ground black pepper ====== Directions ====== - Tie the stems of the cilantro and dill into bundles, then trim off the leaves, reserving ¼ cup of each for garnish. - In a large pot, combine both sets of stems, the chicken and the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cool until easily handled. - Once cool, shred the chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding the skin, bones and cartilage. Set aside. - Strain the broth into another pot or bowl, discarding the solids. - Wipe out the empty pot, then add the carrots, onion, butter and salt. Set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is browned, 10 to 12 minutes. - Add the vermouth, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. - Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. - Add 2 cups of the broth and stir until smooth, then add the remaining broth and bring to a simmer. - In a medium bowl, whisk the yolks. Continue whisking while slowly adding 1 cup of hot broth from the pot. - Whisk in the lemon juice, then return the mixture to the pot and whisk to combine. - Add the chicken and any accumulated juices and cook until just heated through (do not simmer). Taste and season with salt and pepper. - Serve with chopped cilantro and dill leaves. ====== Notes ====== * Don’t substitute white meat. Bone-in dark meat is better suited to this recipe. The bones and collagen add flavor and body to the broth, and the dark meat is less apt to dry out. /* Nutrition block - remove the slash-asterisk and asterisk-slash from just above and below the following block */ /* ====== Nutrition ====== |Calories (kcal): |Fat Calories (kcal): |Cholesterol (mg): |[[recipes:notes:nutrition guidelines |(Guide)]] | |Fat (g): |Saturated Fat (g): |Mono Fat (g): |Poly Fat (g): | |Protein (g): |Carbohydrates (g): |Sodium (mg): |Fiber (g): | */ {{tag>Recipes Soup European MilkStreet}} /* Recipe Tags - Copy and paste tags from the list below to the tag list in the above line, replacing the "TagsNeeded" tag and separated by spaces. */ /* ---Recipe Types--- Appetizer Appetizer/Cold Appetizer/Hot Beverage Beverage/Cocktail Beverage/Liquor-Mixer Bread Bread/Biscuit-Roll Bread/Muffin Bread/Quickbread Bread/Yeast Breakfast Casserole Canning-Freezing Condiment Dessert Dessert/Bar-Brownie Dessert/Cake Dessert/Cake/Frosting Dessert/Candy-Chocolate Dessert/Crisp-Buckle Dessert/Cookie Dessert/Custard-Curd Dessert/IceCream-Ice Dessert/Pie Dessert/Pie/Crust Dessert/Topping Dip-Spread Entertaining Fondue Grilling-BBQ Grilling-BBQ/BBQSauce Holiday Ingredient Ingredient/Seasoning-Rub Ingredient/Brine-Marinade Kid-Friendly MainDish MainDish/Beef MainDish/Poultry MainDish/Pork MainDish/Seafood MainDish/Vegetarian Pasta-Rice Pizza Roast Salad Salad/Dressing Sandwich Sauce-Gravy Sausage-Pate Side Side/Starch Side/Vegetable Snack Soup European MilkStreet Soup/Stock-Broth Stew-Braise Stew-Braise/SlowCooker-Crockpot Stir-Fry Vegetarian ---Recipe Cuisines--- American American/Cajun-Creole American/Southern American/Southwestern Asian Asian/Chinese Asian/Indian Asian/Japanese Asian/Korean Asian/Thai Asian/Vietnamese European MilkStreet European/English European/French European/Greek European/Polish European/Italian European/Spanish Latin Latin/Brazilian Latin/Mexican MiddleEastern ---Recipe Sources--- AmericasTestKitchen AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry AmericasTestKitchen/CooksIllustrated BonAppetit Chowhound FineCooking FoodWine GoodEats Gourmet MilkStreet LMaidment TMaidment DMarcos JMarcos KMarcos JPhalen DPendergast ---Recipe Ratings--- 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1★ No★ ---Recipe Alerts--- RecipeNeeded RecipeIncomplete RecipeWrong RecipeFails TagsNeeded */ ~~DISCUSSION~~
