Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breasts
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 units Celery sticks
- 1 medium Parsnip
- 1 large Onion
- 5 units Garlic cloves
- 2 units Bay leaves
- 60 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 2 units Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 10 grams Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 liters Water
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large pot and cover with 2 liters of water. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
Peel and chop the carrots, celery, and parsnip into bite-sized pieces.
Halve the onion and add it to the pot along with the bay leaves, chopped carrots, celery, and parsnip. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle boil and cook for about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and slowly blend in the apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Discard the onion from the pot.
Add the shredded chicken back to the pot, then stir in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Slowly add the egg and vinegar mixture to the soup, stirring continuously to prevent the yolks from curdling.
Remove the soup from heat and add olive oil for a richer flavor.
Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
