Food / Pierogi (polish Dumpling) Lovers Here???? [76]


Sounds pretty good! How about shrimp/some sort of cheese/and spices! I am usually better at the food thing but I haven't actually tried this yet so it might not be that great. Give me some time and I can come up with some seafood/California/Polish food. If you are really interested e-mail me and if I can come up with something original, I will let you know how I did it. I am just busy at the moment with work and my other hobby right now. If I can get to it I will post all recipes on this forum for all to see. All the best n your search!

Food / Polish-Style Chicken Soup (Rosol) [16]

[Moved from]: Polish chicken soup recipe

I got this off of cooks.com and it is very similar to what I had as a kid. I remember there being whole allspice and 2 bay leaves-not sure what else. I made this tonight and all I added toit was 2 bay leaves. If you know of anything to add let me now. here it is.....

POLISH CHICKEN SOUP

This soup is simple to make and plain. There are some who claim that this soup is medicinal. There is something comforting about this soup and chances are it will become a favorite meal, especially on rainy days.

You will need: 1 sm. onion, quartered 1 sm. celery stalk with leaves, cut in 3 pieces 4 cloves garlic, put through a garlic press 1 tbsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper 2 1/2 qts. water

Put 2 1/2 quarts of water in a 4 quart pot. Remove half the skin from the chicken and rinse the chicken well. Put the chicken in the pot of water. Add the onion, celery, garlic, salt and pepper to the water. Bring the soup to a boil, turn it down and simmer the soup for 2 hours. Remove the chicken from the pot to a platter. Pour the broth through a strainer so that it is clear. Have 1/2 pound of fine egg noodles prepared and portioned off into soup bowls. Separate and serve the chicken. Ladle the broth over the noodles and chicken in the soup bowls. Serve with pocket bread. A simple fruit salad makes a nice appetizer.

Variation: Replace the onion and celery with a dill sprig. Use only the chicken breast. The result is a lighter, milder soup.

Forgot to add- It is better with homemade noodles. I didn't make them tonight because I do not have a rolling pin and didn't feel like using the side of a glass. This is also a realy good winter dish!
