Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients:

- 1 kg chicken pieces (wings, thighs, hearts, gizzards)
- 300 ml tomato juice
- 1 pack of Delikat (or another preferred seasoning)
- 3 medium onions
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 carrot
- 2 tablespoons grated parsnip
- 2 tablespoons grated celery root
- 100 g noodles
- 3-4 tablespoons sunflower oil
- salt, to taste
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 bunch of fresh parsley

Step by step:

1. Preparing the meat: Start by washing the chicken pieces well. Make sure to remove any fatty parts or unpleasant skin. Place them in a large pot (about 5 liters) and add water until nearly full. Then, put the pot on medium heat.

2. Boiling the chicken: Once the water starts to boil, remove the foam that forms on the surface. This is an important step to achieve a clear and tasty soup. Let the meat boil for 10 minutes.

3. Preparing the vegetables: Meanwhile, peel and wash the vegetables. Dice the onions, cut the potatoes into suitable pieces, and slice the carrot. Grate the parsnip and celery, then set them aside.

4. Adding the vegetables: After boiling the chicken for 10 minutes, add the chopped vegetables to the pot. Continue to simmer on low heat, allowing the flavors to blend well. This step will make the soup much tastier.

5. Seasoning: When the vegetables are nearly cooked (you can check if they crumble easily when pressed with your finger), prepare a small bowl. In it, mix the oil with the tomato juice and 2 tablespoons of the boiled broth. Add the mixture to the pot and let the soup boil a little longer.

6. Adding the seasonings: Now it's time to add the Delikat and adjust the taste with salt, according to your preferences. These ingredients will enhance the flavor of your soup.

7. Noodles and eggs: When the soup is almost ready, break the noodles and add them to the pot. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a little boiled broth, then pour them into the soup, stirring gently. This step will give the soup a creamy texture and delicious taste.

8. Finalizing: After the soup has boiled for a few minutes, check the consistency of the vegetables and noodles. If they are cooked, it’s time to turn off the heat. Add the freshly chopped parsley on top and let the soup rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serving suggestions:

Chicken soup with vegetables and noodles is delicious served hot, alongside a slice of fresh bread. You can add a spoonful of sour cream or a slice of hot pepper for extra flavor. A drink that pairs perfectly with this soup is a dry white wine or a fruit compote.

Tips and variations:

- Adding other vegetables: You can experiment with vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or peas, depending on the season and preferences.
- Sour soup: If you like sour soup, you can add a bit of boiled borscht or lemon juice at the end.
- For an extra nutrient boost: Add a handful of fresh spinach or kale in the last minutes of cooking. These greens are packed with vitamins and will enrich the soup with a fresh taste.

Nutritional benefits:

Chicken soup is an excellent source of protein, thanks to the chicken meat, and is rich in vitamins and minerals due to the vegetables. It is a healthy choice for the whole family, with a moderate calorie content, ideal for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
