Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 g Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 liters Chicken broth
- 1 large White onion
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Celery stalk
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 2 Bay leaves
- 3 Egg yolks
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Chop the onion, carrot, and celery, and add them to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the whole chicken thighs to the pot along with the chicken broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred them into bite-sized pieces using a fork. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the heavy cream and lemon juice.
Gradually add a few tablespoons of the hot soup broth to the egg and cream mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the pot, stirring continuously to integrate.
Add the shredded chicken back into the pot.
Crush the garlic cloves and add them to the soup, along with salt and pepper. Let the soup simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
