• 1 whole chicken or 1kg chicken pieces
• 500g beef shin, optional but better
• 2 carrots, 1 parsnip, ¼ celeriac
• 1 onion, halved and charred
• a bunch of parsley and lovage
• 5 peppercorns, 2 bay leaves
• fine noodles to serve

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Char the onion halves cut-side down in a dry pan until properly black. This is where the colour comes from.
2. Cover the meat with COLD water and bring it up very slowly. Starting cold draws the flavour out into the broth.
3. Skim every bit of grey foam in the first 20 min. Miss this and the soup will be cloudy for good.
4. Add the vegetables, charred onion, peppercorns and bay. Now never let it boil — a bare tremble for 2 hrs.
5. Strain through muslin. It should be golden and completely clear.
6. Serve over cooked noodles with a shower of parsley. Every Polish grandmother judges this soup on clarity alone.
