Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Total: 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients:
- 4-5 chicken wings
- 3-4 large carrots
- 1 parsley root
- 3 green garlic stalks (or dried garlic, as preferred)
- 1/2 celery root (optional, but recommended for flavor)
- 2-3 cups of borscht (or to taste)
- 1 can of sour cream (preferably with a high-fat content)
- 2 eggs
- Fresh parsley
- Salt (to taste)
- Delikat (optional, 1-2 tablespoons)
- 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil

Preparing the ingredients:
1. Start by cleaning and chopping the vegetables. Wash the carrots, parsley root, and celery (if using) well and cut them into small cubes. Chop the green garlic finely. These vegetables will give a special flavor to your soup.
2. If using chicken wings, it is recommended to blanch them to remove impurities. Boil them separately for a few minutes in a pot of water, then drain.

Cooking the soup:
1. In a large pot, add the olive oil and sauté the vegetables (carrots, parsley, garlic, and celery) over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. This step is essential for developing flavors and creating a rich base for the soup.
2. Once the vegetables have softened, add the boiled and drained chicken wings. Pour in enough water to cover all the ingredients and add salt and Delikat if you choose to use it. Let it simmer over medium heat for 30-40 minutes.

Adding rice and eggs:
1. After the chicken is well cooked, add 4-5 tablespoons of washed rice. Let the soup boil for another 10 minutes. The rice will absorb the delicious flavors of the soup and provide a pleasant texture.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the two egg whites. When the soup is almost ready, add them to the pot, stirring constantly to form 'shreds' of egg. These will give a rustic appearance and a unique flavor to the soup.

Finalizing the dish:
1. Finally, add the borscht (to taste) and let it boil a few times. This ingredient adds a tangy note to the soup, perfect for balancing the flavors.
2. Turn off the heat and let the soup rest for 10 minutes, then add the beaten yolks mixed with sour cream and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Serving:
Aita soup thickened is served hot, with a generous portion of warm polenta on the side. The polenta will add a pleasant contrast of textures and make each bite even more delicious. You can also add a bit of hot pepper for those who love spicy food.

Useful tips:
- If you want a lighter version, you can use chicken breast instead of wings.
- Experiment with different types of vegetables, adding zucchini or bell pepper for extra color and nutrients.
- You can keep the soup in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze it to enjoy later.

Nutritional information:
This soup is an excellent source of protein due to the chicken and eggs, while the vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals. Depending on the servings, a serving of soup has about 250-300 calories, depending on the ingredients used.
