Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 medium carrot
- 1-2 celery sticks
- 1 onion
- ½ cup short pasta (ditalini or stelini or orzo)
- 1 egg
- 1-2 lemons (juice)
- ground black pepper
- salt (NOT for babies under 12 months)
- 10 cups water
Instructions
- Fill in a big pot with water and place over medium high heat.
- Add the peeled potatoes, carrot, onion, celery sticks and chicken thighs.
- Cook for about an hour, until the chicken is cooked and vegetables are soft.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool down.
- Place the veggies in a food processor and purée. Add it back to the pot with the broth.
- Add the pasta to the pot, give it a stir and let it cook. Season with salt and black pepper (if using any).
- When the pasta is nearly done, add the egg white to a bowl. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until it's a little bit foamy.
- Add the egg yolk and lemon juice to the egg white and whisk to combine.
- With a ladle, pour slowly 2-3 times from the soup broth into the egg mixture while you keep whisking.
- Turn off the heat and transfer the content of the bowl to the pot slowly while you keep stirring. The soup will change color and become lightly thicker.
- Remove the bones from the chicken and cut it into smaller bits with a knife. Transfer the chicken pieces back to the pot with the soup.
- Stir to combine everything and serve the soup whilst still warm.
