Instructions
Step 1
Good chicken is essential for a delicious soup. The ideal option is to buy homemade chicken from a trusted seller. If you do not have this opportunity, follow the basic rules when choosing a product. Domesticated chickens are sold with giblets. The quality of a bird can be determined by its appearance. Look at the color of the muscle tissue, it should be pale pink. Press lightly on the soft area, if the muscles are flaccid and a deep fossa remains from the pressure - do not buy such a product, and if the fossa quickly regained its shape, you have fresh meat in front of you. Touch the skin; it should be dry. Smell a chicken, an unusual or suspicious smell - a reason to refuse a purchase. Hard yellow scales on their paws will tell you about the "advanced years of the bird".
Step 2
Rinse the chicken thoroughly, cut into small pieces, put in cold water and cook over low heat. Remove foam from time to time. When the meat is practically cooked, take it out, strain the broth, put the meat back in the pan and then cook the soup as required by the recipe. When preparing soups for children, it is advisable to avoid browning foods.
Step 3
There are a large number of different recipes for chicken soup: with noodles, rice, soup - mashed potatoes with vegetables. Chicken soup with rice and boiled egg is prepared as follows: pour over the thoroughly washed rice with chicken broth, cook until tender. Hard-boiled egg, cut into cubes, put in a plate, add broth with rice and some herbs. For one serving, you will need 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of rice, herbs, salt.
