Equipment

  • Large soup pot
  • Small soup pot (optional)
  • Medium saucepan
  • Strainer (optional)
  • Peeling knife (optional)
  • Knife

Ingredients
 
 

Chicken Stock:

  • 6 chicken drumsticks rotisserie chicken carcass/bone-in thighs/2 chicken legs
  • 8 cups water
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • Bunch of leafy Herbs parsley, lovage, thyme (optional)
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1-2 stalks celery
  • 1 onion

Rosół or Polish Chicken Noodle Soup:

  • 1 tsp salt
  • Pinch of ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp Maggi seasoning optional
  • 1 cup thin egg noodles
  • Fresh parsley optional

Instructions
 

  • Add water to the pot and set the water to boil.
    8 cups water
  • Next, prep the veggies. Wash the celery and peel the carrot, garlic and onion. Cut the celery stalks, carrots and onion in half just to fit in the pot better.
    1 large carrot, 1-2 stalks celery, 1 onion, 3 garlic cloves
  • Grab your herbs and if you want you can tie them together with twine or a thread for easier removal.
    Bunch of leafy Herbs
  • Once the water starts to steam a little, add the chicken or chicken bones, all the veggies and herbs.
    6 chicken drumsticks
  • When the soup starts to boil gently turn down the heat to low and cook for 60 minutes, longer if you have the time.
  • Once cooked, remove all the herbs and veggies using tongs. For a very clear broth, strain the soup through a strainer into a smaller pot.
  • To make Polish Noodle Soup (or Rosół), add 1 tsp of salt and a pinch of pepper. Also, add the carrot pack to the pot. I like to cut it into smaller chunks but traditionally it’s not finely chopped for serving.
    1 tsp salt, Pinch of ground black pepper, ½ tsp Maggi seasoning
  • In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Once boiling add the noodles and cook according to package instructions. Mine take only 3-4 minutes. Strain the noodles, add ¼ per serving to a bowl and pour 2 cups of stock over the noodles. You can also add a carrot to the bowl.
    1 cup thin egg noodles, Fresh parsley
