Chicken Soup/Stracciatella |
I couldn't decide between plain old chicken soup and stracciatella, so I made a hybrid. After I made the stock by poaching the chicken with the ends of the onion, carrots, and celery, I strained it and set the chicken aside to cool, discarding the vegetables. The stock back on the flame, I added diced carrot, celery, and onion to the stock and seasoned it, letting the vegetables cook until tender, about fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, I picked the chicken and returned it to the pot. Once the vegetables were tender, I brought the stock to a rapid boil and whisked in well-beaten duck eggs with a fork.
And there you have it: hybrid chicken soup and stracciatella. Stracciatella typically contains grated cheese and often green herbs, but not when I'm feeling sick.
