1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves

24 cups water
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 pound ground chicken, or 4 chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
1 red onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon chile flakes
Freshly ground pepper
2 carrots, finely chopped

Vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups watercress

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, for garnish
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon smoked sea salt
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, ground
1 tablespoon black peppercorns, ground
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 chicken drumsticks
4 chicken wings
4 chicken thighs, deboned
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup canned tomato soup, undiluted
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
1 head romaine lettuce
1 red onion, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup radishes, julienned
1/4 cup fresh flat parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • For the chicken stock: In a large stockpot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken bones, stir to coat and cook for 5 minutes to brown. Add the vegetables to the stockpot along with the herbs and peppercorns. Stir to mix, add the water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for 4 to 6 hours. The stock will have reduced by half. Strain and skim the fat. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Reserve.
  • For the chicken meatballs: Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk. In a food processor, combine the ground chicken, or chicken breasts if using, the red onion and garlic. Blend for 2 minutes. Add the dill, olive oil, salt, chile flakes and breadcrumb mixture. Spinkle with freshly ground pepper.
  • Using 1 teaspoon of the ground chicken mixture, form small meatballs. Reserve on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until ready to cook in the soup.
  • For the soup: In a medium stockpot, cook the vegetables in oil for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 8 cups stock and the chicken meatballs. Let simmer until the meatballs are cooked, about 15 minutes. When ready to serve, divide the watercress in the bowls and add a ladle of chicken soup. Garnish with the blackened chicken wings and fresh dill.
  • For the blackened chicken: Combine all the spices with the garlic and oil in a bowl. Evenly rub the chicken pieces with the spice mixture. Place in a large re-sealable plastic bag or a bowl covered in plastic wrap. Keep in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to overnight for a more intense flavor.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a cast-iron skillet heat over high heat, add enough vegetable oil to coat the whole bottom of the pan. The pan will be ready when it starts to gently smoke. First place the chicken drumsticks in the skillet (they take the longest to cook) and blacken all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the chicken pieces and continue in the same manner for another 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and place the skillet in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, set aside and keep warm.
  • For the French vinaigrette: Add the tomato soup, ketchup, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard seeds, shallot, garlic and lemon juice to a blender and puree all the ingredients together. Slowly add the oil until it emulsifies and becomes thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper and blend again. (Add a little bit of water if the vinaigrette is too thick.) Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. The vinaigrette can be made ahead and will be good for up to 1 week.
  • For the salad: In a bowl, mix together the romaine lettuce with the red onions, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet, slice lengthwise and toss into the salad. Mix well and set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix together the radishes, herbs and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve: Dress the plates with the romaine and chicken thigh salad mix. Top each plate with a blackened chicken drumstick and garnish with the radish salad. Drizzle with the French vinaigrette and serve.

THAI-INSPIRED CHICKEN MEATBALL SOUP



Thai-Inspired Chicken Meatball Soup image

This stellar soup is reviving and cozy, made in one pot, and ready in 30 minutes. It starts with ginger-scented chicken-cilantro meatballs that are browned, then simmered in a fragrant coconut milk broth that's inspired by tom kha gai, a Thai chicken-coconut soup seasoned with lemongrass, galangal, makrut lime leaves and chile. A heap of spinach is added for color and flavor, and a squeeze of lime adds brightness and punch. The soup is brothy, so serve it over rice or another grain to make it a full meal.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (4-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 jalapeño
2 pounds ground chicken
1 large bunch cilantro, leaves and stems finely chopped, a few whole leaves reserved for serving
3 tablespoons fish sauce
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable or coconut oil, plus more as needed
2 cups chicken broth
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
5 ounces baby spinach
1 tablespoon lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
Steamed white or brown rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Using the small holes of a box grater, or a Microplane, grate the ginger, garlic and jalapeño (or finely chop them by hand). Transfer half to a large bowl and set the rest aside. To the large bowl, add the chicken, finely chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons fish sauce and 1 teaspoon salt. Use your hands or a fork to fully combine but do not overmix.
  • Use your hands or an ice cream scoop to form 2-inch meatballs (about 2 ounces each). In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the meatballs in a single layer and cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on two sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat, adding oil as needed.
  • Once all the meatballs are browned and out of the pot, if the oil is burned, wipe it out and add a bit more to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium, add the reserved ginger mixture and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs and any juices from the plate, and simmer until the flavors come together and the meatballs are cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in the spinach and lime juice. Divide rice among bowls, then top with meatballs, broth and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH TINY VEAL MEATBALLS



Chicken Soup With Tiny Veal Meatballs image

Provided by Colette Rossant

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 pound veal breast
1 1/2 pounds chicken wings
1 onion stuck with 2 cloves
2 bay leaves
2 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 carrots, scraped and cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt to taste
10 peppercorns
1 dill sprig
Veal meatballs (see recipe)
1/4 pound fresh kosher salmon caviar
1 bunch watercress

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a 10-quart soup kettle. Add the garlic and saute for a minute, then add the veal and brown on all sides. Add the chicken wings and four quarts of water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, skimming the top from time to time.
  • Add the onion, bay leaves, celery, carrots, salt, peppercorns and dill. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for one hour or until the veal is tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Remove the veal and save for making the meatballs. Strain the soup through a fine sieve. Cool and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • When preparing to serve, skim the fat from the surface of the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, lower the heat and gently drop in the tiny meatballs. Cook for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your soup. Look for organic, free-range chicken, and fresh vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the chicken and vegetables to the pot, make sure there is enough room for them to move around and cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the ingredients will steam instead of simmer and the soup will be bland.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Season to taste: Taste the soup as it cooks and adjust the seasonings as needed. Salt and pepper are essential, but you may also want to add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or dill. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Chicken soup with stars and meatballs is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
