Preparation
Step 1
If you want a heartier dish, you can also add potatoes. Zucchini may be used as well, if desired.
Step 2
Take a pot suitable for sautéing vegetables and meat (if not available, sauté in a pan and later transfer everything to the pot at step 7). Add vegetable oil, finely chopped onion, and fry over low heat until translucent.
Step 3
Dice one medium carrot into small cubes, add it to the onion, stir, and sauté for about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Dice a young seasonal zucchini into small cubes.
Step 5
Cut chicken breast into small pieces, add to the pot with vegetables, stir, and lightly fry over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the diced zucchini to the pot, stir again, and cook for about 2 minutes so it absorbs the oil and juices.
Step 7
Pour 1.5 liters (about 6 1/3 cups) of boiling water into the pot with chicken and vegetables. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat.
Step 8
Cook the soup over medium heat for about 7-10 minutes.
Step 9
Add dried garlic, salt to taste, bay leaf, and a mix of black and red pepper. You may adjust spices as you like.
Step 10
Coarsely chop fresh sorrel and dill.
Step 11
Add the sorrel and dill to the soup, stir everything together.
Step 12
Bring to a boil once more, then immediately turn off the heat. Cover and let the soup stand on the turned-off stove for about 15 minutes.
Step 13
Pour the infused sorrel soup with chicken into bowls. Add hard-boiled, chopped eggs and sour cream to taste.
Step 14
Enjoy your meal!
