  • Filter the bones out and preserve the liquid(broth) which is packed with flavors from all the ingredients added.
  • Add butter into a hot pan and fry the chicken till it has a brownish crust and filter it into a bowl.  The butter used to fry the chicken has lots of flavors stores in as well so beware to preserve it.

  • Then grate it into the slow-cooked sauce and mix thoroughly.
  • Add the fried chicken into the sauce and mix.

  • Serve hot and enjoy.
  • grate carrots and sprinkle on the dish after serving.
  • Even better if you have a glass of wine alongside.

 

Note :

  • if you prefer a light version of the soup, add more water to your satisfaction and slow cook for a longer period.
  • It’s best to cook on low heat to allow a proper blend of all the ingredients.
