Method
Rinse chicken3 thighs, cover with 500 ml cold water, and bring to a boil. Skim off foam, add a bay leaf, and simmer on low heat for 25 minutes until the meat is tender and the juices run clear.
Remove chicken3 and let cool slightly. Strip meat from the bones, chop into pieces, and strain the broth, keeping it on low heat.
Finely chop onion5 and slice pickles4 into matchsticks. Sauté onion in oil over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until golden.
Add pickles4 and tomato6 paste to the onion5, simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Slice sausage and ham2 into matchsticks, add to the skillet, and fry for 3 minutes.
Transfer the sautéed mixture and chicken3 to the broth, add olives7, and season with salt. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
Serve hot with a dollop of sour9 cream and a slice of lemon8.
Tips
- Why it works
- Sauté the onion, pickles and tomato paste together before adding the sausage. The paste loses its sourness and raw taste, and the fat gives the broth a rich color.
- Substitutions
- Swap the chicken thighs for beef on the bone, but simmer it for 1.5 hours. Swap the olives for capers, 1 tsp per serving. The soup will be saltier.
- Common mistakes
- The broth boils hard and turns cloudy. Watch the surface: only occasional bubbles should rise, and skim the foam in the first 5 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Keeps 3 days in the fridge in a covered container. Reheat over medium heat until the first bubbles, and add the sour cream and lemon in the bowl.
- Serve with
- Serve with rye bread or garlic croutons for lunch on a cold day.
In short
- In the planner this dish is cooked for two days: reheat on day two.
