Polish Chicken Soup Recipe
This was my Polish grandmother’s chicken soup recipe, which I still make. The whole allspice adds a unique flavor that makes this soup delicious. I prepare it in a pressure cooker rather than cooking it all day. It has a lot of onion and celery, which also adds to its unique taste. If you have a cold, it will definitely help clear your head.
6 chicken thighs or drumsticks, cooked and meat pulled from bone
3 large onions, chopped
2 to 3 stalks celery, chopped
3 to 4 whole allspice
1 pound wide egg noodles
Black pepper to taste
Place chicken, onions, celery and whole allspice in 3- or 4-quart pressure cooker. Add enough water to fill pressure cooker three-quarters full. After pressure cooker starts to jiggle, cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain in colander.
Place a serving of noodles in individual soup bowls and ladle broth over top. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
NOTE: If you don’t have a pressure cooker, soup can be heated in a slow cooker or simmered in a stockpot for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Yields 4 servings.
