Anti-Cold Chicken Soup with Thermomix

Preparation of Anti-Cold Chicken Soup with Thermomix

1. 1. Prepare the soup base
2. Peel the onion, place it in the glass of your Thermomix and chop it for 5 seconds at speed 5. Use the spatula to push the pieces to the bottom of the glass. Then, add the liter of vegetable broth and 1 teaspoon of salt.
3. 2. Cook the chicken in the Varoma
4. Cut the chicken thighs close to the bones, divide them at the joints and place them in the Varoma container. Place the Varoma in its position on the closed glass and cook everything at Varoma temperature for 45 minutes, speed 1.
5. Tip: If you need to purchase an additional Varoma accessory, you can purchase it directly from Vorwerk.
6. 3. Prepare the vegetables
7. While the chicken is cooking, peel and slice the carrots. Cut the leek into finger-sized rings and wash them well to remove any dirt. Cut the celery into large pieces.
8. Tip: Do you prefer smaller pieces in your soup? You can chop the washed and peeled vegetables directly in the Thermomix container.
9. 4. Cook the vegetables
10. Remove the chicken thighs from the Varoma once they are cooked. Add the vegetables to the glass with the broth and continue cooking at Varoma temperature for 20 minutes, speed 1.
11. 5. Cook the noodles and shred the chicken
12. While the vegetables are cooking, boil the noodles in a separate pot of plenty of salted water according to package directions. When they are al dente, drain them and set them aside.
13. Shred the chicken thighs with a fork, removing the skin and bones, and cut the meat into small pieces.
14. 6. Mix and season the soup
15. Add the cooked vegetables, chicken pieces and noodles to the broth in the glass. Set your Thermomix to 100°C, counterclockwise, speed 1, and mix for a few minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
16. 7. Decorate and serve
17. Serve the hot soup in bowls and garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley. This final touch not only adds color, but also a fresh flavor that perfectly complements the dish.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

1. 1. Can I freeze chicken soup?
2. Yeah! This soup can be frozen without the noodles, as the noodles can become mushy when thawed. Add them when reheating.
3. 2. What other types of pasta can I use?
4. You can use any small pasta like stars, letters, or shells. You can even opt for rice if you prefer.
5. 3. Is Varoma necessary for this recipe?
6. The Varoma is ideal for steaming chicken thighs, but if you don’t have it, you can cook them directly in the broth. Adjust cooking times as necessary.
