This traditional Romanian dish is not only tasty but also very healthy, thanks to the fresh and nutrient-rich ingredients. Ingredients: - 500 g chicken meat (you can use thighs or breast, depending on your preference) - 1 large carrot, sliced - 1 medium onion, finely chopped - 1 bell pepper (preferably red or yellow), diced - 2 medium potatoes, cubed - 200 g green beans (fresh or frozen) - 1 small zucchini, cubed - 1 bunch of fresh parsley, chopped - Salt and pepper, to taste - 2 l water - 2 tablespoons olive oil or sunflower oil Step-by-step preparation: 1. Start by preparing the chicken. Put water in a large pot (about 2 liters) and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the chicken. Boil the meat for 10-15 minutes, then remove it and let it cool slightly. This step will help eliminate impurities and make the soup clearer. 2. In the same pot, add the 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté the finely chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent. This step will add a delicious flavor to the base of your soup. 3. Add the carrot, bell pepper, potatoes, and zucchini, mixing well. Let the vegetables sauté with the onion for another 5 minutes. This will intensify the flavors and make the soup tastier. 4. Put the chicken back in the pot, along with the green beans. Add 2 liters of water and let everything simmer over medium heat. Once the soup starts to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer slowly for 20-25 minutes. 5. Finally, add salt and pepper to taste, and before serving, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley. This will add a note of freshness to your soup. 6. Serve the soup hot, alongside a slice of fresh bread or with sour cream, if desired. A personal suggestion is to add a few drops of lemon juice for a tangy and refreshing taste. Useful tips: - You can vary the vegetables according to the season or your preferences. For example, add celery, asparagus, or peas for extra flavor. - If you prefer a meatier soup, you can use chicken with bones, which will give the soup a richer taste. - A delicious variation is to add some spices like thyme or bay leaves for added aroma. This chicken soup with lots of vegetables is not only a comforting dish but also an excellent choice for a healthy family meal. With the steps and tips above, you will achieve a perfect result. Enjoy your meal!
