Ingredients
- 120 g Chicken breast, raw
- 400 g Water
- 30 g Onions, raw
- 40 g Carrots, raw
- 25 g Parsnip or parsley root, raw
- 25 g Celeriac, raw
- 0.1 g Bay leaf
- 0.5 g Salt
- 15 g Egg yolk, raw
- 50 g Sour cream
- 8 g Garlic, raw
- 8 g Vinegar, white
- 0.2 g Black pepper
- 2 g Parsley, fresh
Method
- Put the chicken in a pot with the water, bring it slowly to the boil and skim off the foam.
- Add the onion, carrot, parsnip and celeriac, peeled and diced small, with the bay leaf and a pinch of the salt, and simmer gently for 30-35 minutes, until the chicken is tender.
- Lift out the chicken, pull it into thin strips and put it back in the pot.
- Whisk the egg yolk with the sour cream, then whisk in a ladle of the hot soup, a little at a time, so the yolk doesn’t curdle.
- Take the pot off the boil, stir in the sour cream mixture and heat it gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring, without letting it boil, until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the crushed garlic, the vinegar, the rest of the salt and the pepper; it should be creamy, garlicky and pleasantly sour.
- Serve hot, scattered with parsley, with a hot pepper alongside; the soup is from Rădăuți in Bukovina, and is made in the manner of the tripe soup ciorbă de burtă, with chicken instead.
