Chicken rosół, serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 chicken

• salt and pepper

Directions

Cover the chicken with 1.5 l (1 1/2 quarts) of cold water with salt. Boil for 1 hr on low heat. Cut onion in half, blacken both halves on a skillet without any fat (it will give rosół its characteristic amber color). Cut vegetables into large chunks. Add the onion, half of the parsley, peppercorns, and the vegetables. Boil for another 1/2 hr. Strain and degrease. Add the rest of chopped parsley. You may put back boiled carrots and cubes of chicken meat.
