Ingredients

  • 1 chicken
  • 1 onion
  • 1 small leek
  • 2 carrots , peeled and sliced lengthwise
  • ½ celery root
  • 2–3 sprigs green celery
  • 1–2 parsley roots
  • 1 bunch of parsley
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • ⅛ sweet cabbage
  • Garlic , to taste
  • Bay leaf , to taste
  • Juniper seeds
  • Dried wild mushrooms
  • Allspice , to taste

Directions

1

Quarter the chicken and place in a stock pot with ~1.5 cold water. Do not add salt at this time, as this may harden some meats. Bring to a boil on high heat, then simmer for 30–45 minutes. At this time, remove (skim) the surface flotsam (a mix of protein and some fat).

2

Add peeled garlic clove, carrots, celery root, parsley root similarly prepared, and other vegetables previously washed.

3

Sauté onion halves in minimal oil to caramelize the flesh. Add to the soup. Omitting this step will result in a clearer, less-yellow product.

4

Simmer on low heat for approx 2 hours or more. Rosół should not boil, as this will result in a cloudy consistency.

5

Season to taste with salt, pepper, bay leaf, allspice, juniper seeds, dried wild mushrooms, etc.

6

Continue simmering. You may skim fat off the surface, if so desired (traditionally it should be as fat as possible)

7

Remove cabbage, parsley, celery root and any "undesired" vegetables. Carrots are usually left in and served with the broth.

8

Serve hot with noodles and fresh parsley. Individuals may season with maggi, soy sauce , freshly ground black pepper and/or chilli flakes .
