Smoked Chicken and Green Bean Soup

Prepare all necessary ingredients. Instead of smoked chicken breast, you can use a smoked chicken drumstick or thigh. Frozen green beans do not need to be thawed.

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with 2 liters of cold water, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a minimum and cook the potatoes until tender, for 20-25 minutes.

Peel the onion, carrots, bell pepper, and garlic clove. Dice the onion into small cubes, slice the carrots and bell pepper into julienne strips, and finely mince the garlic.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Add the onion, carrots, and bell pepper.

Sauté the vegetables over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Then add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds. Remove the pan with the sautéed vegetables from the heat.

Slice the smoked chicken fillet into strips. If using bone-in poultry, separate the meat from the bones and chop it finely.

Once the potatoes are cooked (after approximately 25 minutes), season the potato broth with salt.

Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the pot with the soup.

Immediately add the frozen green beans.

Following the beans, add the smoked chicken meat.

Bring the soup to a boil and simmer it over low heat, covered, for 5 minutes.

Then add bay leaf, dried garlic, black ground pepper, turmeric, and ground coriander to the soup.

Bring the soup to a boil again, reduce the heat to a minimum, and cook the soup, covered, for another 3 minutes.

The delicious smoked chicken and green bean soup is ready. Remove the pot from the heat.

Serve the smoked chicken soup hot as a first course for lunch.

This recipe yields a very aromatic and appetizing soup.

Enjoy your meal!
