Lentil soup with chicken broth
To prepare lentil soup with chicken broth, prepare the necessary products according to the list.
First, let's make the broth. Place the washed chicken thighs in a saucepan. Pour in the water and place on the stove. Bring the water to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes.
Important! After the broth boils, skim off any foam that appears. Continue skimming it off periodically throughout the cooking process. The better you skim off the foam, the clearer and more transparent the broth will be.
While the broth is simmering, prepare the vegetables. Grate the carrots. Finely chop the onion and dice the potatoes.
After the chicken has cooked for 30 minutes, remove it from the pan. Add the vegetables (potatoes, carrots, and onions) to the pan. Continue cooking for about 10-15 minutes.
Remove the meat from the bones and shred. Return the meat to the soup. Add the rinsed lentils and cook for another 5 minutes.
Then add the crushed garlic, bay leaf, black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir and cook until the lentils are tender (about another 5 minutes).
Then turn off the stove and finally add chopped dill.
The lentil soup with chicken broth is ready! It's very rich and flavorful. With this soup, you might not even need a second course.
Bon appetit!
