In this video, we’re making the ultimate clear chicken soup — golden, rich, and full of deep flavor, yet beautifully transparent. Perfect for Shabbos or any cozy evening. We’ll show you the simple technique that makes all the difference: slowly bringing the vegetables to a boil, and only adding the chicken once the water is hot. Join us for this homestyle recipe and learn how to make a soup that’s hearty, flavorful, and a true comfort. Have a good Shabbas! ⸻ 🥣 Chicken Soup Recipe Ingredients: • 2 celery sticks • 2 carrots • 1 parsley root • 1 medium squash (kishu or zucchini) • 2 chicken bottoms (legs with thighs) • Optional: any other vegetables you like — sweet, earthy veggies (like parsnip, turnip, or onion) will make the soup extra hearty. • 2½ teaspoons salt • ½ teaspoon black pepper ⸻ Instructions: 1. Prepare the vegetables: place them into the pot 2. Start the soup: Place all the vegetables in a large pot. Fill with water. Add the salt and pepper. 3. Slowly bring to a boil: Heat the pot on medium-low. Let it come up to a gentle boil slowly — this draws out the flavors from the vegetables into the water. If you rush it with high heat, you won’t get the same rich taste. 4. Add the chicken: Only once the water is already boiling, carefully add the chicken pieces. (Starting chicken in cold water can make the soup cloudy.) 5. Skim the foam: As the chicken cooks, you’ll see white foam and impurities rise to the top. Use a spoon to gently skim this off . 6. Simmer long and slow: Lower the heat to the lowest possible setting so it’s just barely simmering. Let it cook for at least 3 hours. (For incredible flavor, we cook it for up to 12 hours on low.)
