Chicken and Green Bean Soup with Potatoes
A simple chicken soup with potatoes, carrot, onion and green beans from the source’s main recipe.
The post is a broad guide to homemade soups, but it includes one complete chicken-and-vegetable recipe. This card follows that measured example. Use the source’s kilogram of chicken fillet with potatoes, carrot, onion and 100 grams of green beans. Start the chicken in water and cook it until safe, then add vegetables in order of their cooking time. The beans only need the final few minutes so they remain green and tender. A separate pan is useful for softening the onion, though you can add it directly if you prefer a lighter broth. Taste for salt and pepper once the soup has simmered, and serve hot with herbs.
