Soups - Chicken Soup with Peas by Clementina B. - Recipia

To prepare a delicious chicken soup with vegetables, we start by preparing the necessary ingredients. We take a fresh chicken breast, which we cut into small cubes to cook evenly and quickly. Then, we put the chicken breast in a pot with cold water over medium heat and let it boil. It is important to use enough water so that we obtain a rich and flavorful broth. Meanwhile, we prepare the vegetables. We take a vibrant bell pepper, wash it, and cut it into small cubes. This will add a sweet taste and a beautiful color to the soup. We also peel an onion, which we finely chop to integrate well into the dish. When the chicken breast starts to boil, we add the onion and pepper to the pot. These vegetables will enrich the flavor of the soup and provide a pleasant texture. After the onion becomes transparent and the pepper softens, we add the peas. If we are using frozen peas, it is recommended to let them boil a little longer to soften well. If we are using canned peas, they are already semi-cooked, so the boiling time will be shorter, about 10 minutes. The soup will start to develop a tempting aroma, and the vegetables will bring added freshness. Once we have boiled the vegetables and chicken, it is time to add the beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar. This will give a pleasant acidity to the soup and help slightly thicken the liquid. We stir continuously to avoid the formation of lumps, and the soup will acquire a velvety consistency. Finally, we add the sour cream, which we put in a bowl and gradually add a few ladles of soup, mixing well. This will help temper the sour cream so that it doesn't curdle. Once the mixture is homogeneous, we pour it into the pot. At the end, we sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley for an extra touch of flavor and freshness. We add delicately or salt to taste, mix well, and let the soup boil for a few more minutes to blend the flavors. We serve the soup hot, alongside a slice of fresh bread, and enjoy a nourishing and comforting dish.
