Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to cook chicken broth with vermicelli? Prepare all the products specified in the recipe. To prepare the broth, you can use the whole chicken, or its individual parts such as: breasts, legs, thighs, wings, and so on. I prefer to cook broth from soup chicken or rooster.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    So, gut the chicken, peel off the feathers and scorch. Wash the carcass thoroughly. Peel and rinse the onion and carrot. Put the chicken and vegetables in a saucepan. Fill it with water and put it on the stove. On a high flame, bring the contents of the pan to a boil, remove the resulting foam, reduce the stove to moderate and cook the broth until the chicken is ready with the lid slightly open. The cooking time depends on which parts of the bird you use.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Remove the chicken from the broth. Also remove the onion and carrot from the pan. Next, the broth can be used as it is or add some vegetables for brightness and taste.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    I usually add a small carrot, pre-cut into thin circles, semicircles or cubes. Also, for the taste, you can chop a quarter of a small onion as finely as possible.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Send the vegetables to boiling broth, and keep on moderate heat for about five minutes.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Add the vermicelli and salt to the pan to taste. Leave until all the components are ready. I have a small vermicelli, so I add it, immediately turn off the heat and leave it on a hot stove under a closed lid for 5-10 minutes. During this time, the pasta is completely ready.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    At the end of cooking, add chopped herbs and ground pepper to the pan to taste.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Separate the slightly cooled chicken meat from the bones.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Offer chicken pieces to everyone in a plate with broth.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    You can also serve soup with boiled egg (half an egg in each plate). In this case, you will get a more satisfying first course.

The cooking time of the broth depends on which parts of the chicken you use. For example, the legs and thighs of a purchased or domestic broiler bird will be ready in 30-40 minutes, the breast will cook in 20-30 minutes. Soup chicken or rooster is cooked much longer. I cook broth from laying hen for about 2 hours, so it turns out bright, rich with a beautiful appetizing shade.


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".
