Rosol (Polish Chicken Soup)

Ingredients

• 4 Chopped Chicken Legs
• 2 large Onions
• 5 chopped Carrots
• 1 chopped Leek
• 1 small Celery
• 1/4 Cabbage
• 1 whole Cloves
• 1tsp Allspice
• 2 Bay Leaf
• 4 sprigs Parsley
• 4 sprigs Dill
• 1 tsp Pepper
• 1 tbs Salt

Directions

1. Step 1: Add chicken to a large Dutch oven or stock pot
2. Step 2: Cover with water
3. Step 3: Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, skimming any impurities off the top to insure a clear broth
4. Step 4: If your pot is big enough, add the vegetables and spices for the last hour of the cooking time
5. Step 5: My Dutch oven wasn’t big enough to hold everything, just the chicken and other bones filled the pot, so I cooked the meat/bones for the full cooking time, then removed them, and cooked the vegetables and spices separately
6. Step 6: Strain everything out of the broth
7. Step 7: Bone the chicken, pulling the meat into large chunks
8. Step 8: Slice the carrots
9. Step 9: Return the chicken and carrots to the broth
10. Step 10: Cook noodles according to package instructions if you’re using them
11. Step 11: Add noodles to bowl and then top with hot soup
