  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to cook chicken fillet soup with potatoes and vermicelli? Prepare the products. Pre-defrost the meat for the soup by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. A more healthy and delicious soup will turn out from a chilled fillet. In general, it can be cooked from any parts of chicken, but from white meat it will be the most dietary.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Wash the fillets with water, then dry them with a paper towel. Cut it into portions. This way you will significantly reduce the cooking time of the soup than if you cooked the fillet in a whole piece.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Put the meat in a suitable bowl and pour clean cold water. Put it to cook on a high heat. When the water boils, turn off the heat and drain the water.

    Remove a small amount of foam that will appear on top. Add salt and any spices to taste (I have peppercorns). Turn down the heat to a minimum and leave the broth to cook for 15 minutes. To make the broth transparent, do not allow strong boiling, let it just bubble a little.

    Step 8.

    After the prescribed time, throw the prepared vegetables into the broth. I throw the onion whole, peeled from the husk. But you can cut it into cubes and also throw it into the soup.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Boil the soup until the vegetables are ready, about 15 minutes. Check the potatoes — they should break easily when pressed with a spoon. Throw in the vermicelli and herbs, mix. Cook for about 3-5 more minutes (depending on the type of vermicelli). Then turn off the heating, cover the pan with a lid and leave the soup to stand for 15 minutes so that the vermicelli is finally cooked.

    Step 10.

    Serve the soup to the table. You can add more fresh herbs to it. Bon appetit!

Important! Regardless of whether the amount of water for soup is indicated in the recipe or not, it is best to focus on your own preferences (thick or more liquid soup you like), as well as on the size of your pan and the products taken for cooking. Do not forget that the author has his own view on the amount of meat, potatoes, cereals and other ingredients in the soup, which may not coincide with yours.  In practice, this means that if you are cooking for the first time, you should not cook a whole pot at once. Make a soup for tasting - for one or two people. To do this, reduce the amount of all ingredients according to the recipe to 1-2 servings, and take the amount of water from the calculation: from one cup per serving - if the soup is very thick, to 1.5-2 cups - if more liquid. Do not forget to take into account that part of the liquid will boil off during the cooking process. After tasting a small portion of soup, you can adjust both the amount of liquid and the proportions of ingredients to your taste. In the future, like most experienced housewives, you will be able to pour water for soup and lay the ingredients “by eye".
