Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:
- 6 chicken wings
- 1 onion
- 2 carrots (one diced, the other grated)
- 1 tomato
- 1/4 celery (diced)
- 2 stalks of green celery (chopped)
- 1 large potato (diced)
- 3 sprigs of celery leaves (chopped)
- 5 sprigs of fresh parsley (chopped)
- Salt (to taste)
- About 2 liters of water

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the chicken wings
Start by thoroughly washing the chicken wings. Remove any remaining feathers and cut the wings in half to help release flavors into the soup. Place the wings in a large pot, add enough water to cover them, and bring to a boil over medium heat. When the water starts to boil, use a slotted spoon to remove the foam that forms on the surface. This step is essential for achieving a clear and flavorful soup.

2. Preparing the vegetables
Meanwhile, peel and wash the vegetables. Chop the onion, one carrot, and the celery stalks into small pieces. These vegetables will form the base of your soup's flavor. The other half of the carrot and the celery should be grated, and the potato cut into cubes. These vegetables add sweetness and texture to the soup.

3. Adding the vegetables
When the chicken is almost cooked (about 20 minutes), add the chopped vegetable mix (onion, carrot, celery) to the pot. Let it boil for 10 minutes, then add the potato. Continue boiling for another 5 minutes. This time allows the vegetables to release their flavors into the soup.

4. Finishing the soup
Wash the tomato, peel it, and cut it into small cubes. Add the tomato cubes, celery leaves, and chopped parsley to the pot. These fresh ingredients add a splash of color and a vibrant taste to the soup. Let everything boil for 10 minutes, so the flavors blend perfectly.

5. Seasoning
Finally, season the soup with salt to taste. Stir well and turn off the heat. Your chicken wing soup is now ready! You can serve it hot, and its comforting aroma will fill every corner of your kitchen.

Serving suggestions:
To make this soup even more special, you can add crunchy croutons or a bit of chili for a touch of spice when serving. Additionally, a slice of toasted bread on the side is perfect to accompany each spoonful of soup.

Vegetarian option:
If you’re having a meatless day or simply want a vegetarian option, you can replace the chicken wings with mushrooms or tofu and use vegetable broth as a base.

Nutritional benefits:
Chicken wing soup is an excellent source of protein and nutrients, thanks to the chicken and vegetables. Carrots and celery are rich in vitamins, while parsley provides a boost of vitamin K and antioxidants.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of meat?
Of course! You can use chicken thighs or even turkey, each variation having a distinct flavor.
- How long can the soup be stored?
This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can freeze it for later use, but it’s recommended to add fresh vegetables after thawing to maintain their texture.
- Can it be made in advance?
Absolutely! The soup becomes even tastier if you let it rest for a few hours or overnight, as the flavors intensify.

Chicken wing soup is not just a recipe, but a cooking experience that will bring smiles with every bowl served. So embrace this wonderful soup recipe and enjoy the comfort and warmth it brings to your life! Enjoy your meal!
