"Cock-a-doodle soup"
"But this is the cock-a-doodle soup!" is a phrase that many of
us have heard from the mouth of the famous Kreisiraadio troop. I
have to admit that I have never before made such a soup myself and
therefore hoped to get some assistance from a favourite book of
mine - Larousse's lexicon of gastronomy. But the soup wasn't even
mentioned in this book! Fortunately for us the "soup-men"
themselves were happy to lend their ladle!
1 whole grilled chicken
0,5 zucchini
2 stalks of celery
100 g noodles
2 shallots
0,5 leek
200 g tomato sauce
1 head of garlic
couple of tablespoonfuls of olive oil
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
McCormick's black pepper
McCormick's Italian herb mix
McCormick's sea salt
Cut the vegetables into sticks and heat them slightly in a
soup-pot, using some olive oil. Take the bones out of the grilled
chicken and chop the meat into fine pieces, if desired. Once the
vegetables are brown, add the tomato sauce and continue heating for
some more minutes. Now add the chicken broth and bring the soup to
the boil. When the vegetables are almost tender, add the noodles,
and heat until done. Spice with soy sauce (this idea was kindly
contributed by Hannes Võrno), Italian herb mix and black pepper.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley immediately before serving.
Bon appétit!
