What each ingredient does

Chicken filling
Forms the soft, tender body of each quenelle once poached.
Chicken broth
Poaches the quenelles gently while adding savory flavor to the dish.
Spring vegetables
Provide fresh flavor and color to the soup poured over the quenelles.

The step that matters

Poach the quenelles in chicken broth until cooked through. Poaching at a gentle simmer cooks the delicate chicken filling evenly without toughening it. Boiling vigorously can crack or toughen the quenelles, while undercooking leaves the filling raw inside.
