Slovak Chicken Noodle Soup
Also known as Kuracia Polievka, this warm and comforting soup is perfect for those cold winter nights, and it only takes 45 minutes to make.
Ingredients
- 8 cups homemade or store-bought chicken stock
- 3 large carrots peeled and diced
- 1 parsley root or ½ celery root peeled and diced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 225 g fine soup noodles cooked and drained
- ½ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
Instructions
- In large pot over medium-high heat, bring stock to a full simmer.
- Add carrots and parsley root to pot, and season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium-low to bring soup to a gentle simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Check seasoning again before serving.
- To serve, place cooked soup noodles in strainer and run them under hot water to warm them up, then spoon some into each soup bowl. Top with soup and a sprinkle of parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Tip: The soup noodles are short and thin and often egg-based, but any small shape of pasta will work for this recipe. Or if chicken and rice soup gives you and your family comfort or you’re making this to heal a head cold, feel free to use cooked rice in place of noodles.
