Mediterranean Chicken Soup

 

Ingredients: 

 

vegetables for soup ( carrot, celery, turnip…)

3 beef neck bones

2 chicken necks

2 chicken bouillon cubes

soup pasta

chickpeas

oil

salt

 

Fill a pot with water ( about 6 cups ). Add the vegetables mix ( you can find it in the supermarkets, already packed ), the beef bones and the chicken necks. Chicken necks could be replaced for a couple of drumsticks. Add also 1 bouillon cube and 2 tablespoons of oil, and let it boil all together for 2 ˝ hours.  When you see that the meat is falling from the bones, turn the fire off.

Filter the mix to another pot, discarding the vegetables and bones, and just keeping the liquid, and some chunks of chicken.

Add a new chicken bouillon cube, soup pasta ( 1 handful ) and the chickpeas. Let it cook with slow fire until the pasta is cooked. Check the taste and add salt if necessary. There are several types of pasta for soup, from very small size to big ones. Pick the one you prefer, that won’t affect the taste of the soup.

Serving suggestion: you can top the soup with fried bread or shredded boiled egg.
