Ingredients
2-3 pieces chicken carcass
4 liters cold water
2-3 medium carrots
2 whole eggs
1 onion
¼ celery root
1 large parsley root
90-100 grams tablespoons semolina
A pinch of baking soda
5 grams black peppercorns
Salt to taste
Directions
- Wash the chicken pieces, clean your vegetables, and cut them into larger pieces and set them aside. Place the cold water in a pot over medium heat and add the chicken carcass. When the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low to medium-low and start removing the foam that gathers on top with a slotted spoon. Repeat the process until most of the foam is removed.
- Once most of the foam is removed, add your veggies and the black peppercorns. Let it simmer for about 20–25 minutes.
- While the soup simmers, take a bowl and crack in the egg. Mix in the semolina and the sodium bicarbonate until you have a homogeneous, thick paste (you need to be able to scoop out the paste with a teaspoon). Adjust with semolina if necessary.
- Remove the pot from the stove and strain the soup into a new pot. Place the new soup pot over medium-low heat and add one teaspoon of the semolina or egg paste at a time. Submerging the teaspoon with the paste into the soup should easily remove it from the spoon. Cook for about 15 minutes once all the dumplings are in.
- Once the semolina dumplings are cooked, they will sink. Set the soup aside and adjust with salt and pepper if necessary.
Notes
- The boiled vegetables can be served with this soup. If you do not want to serve them, you can use them to make a veggie mayo salad.
