Chicken Cream Soup
4 servings
35 minutes
Chicken cream soup is a delicate and aromatic dish of Jewish cuisine that combines simplicity and sophistication. Its origin is linked to the traditions of making nourishing and warming soups that have served as the foundation of home cooking for centuries. This soup delights with its soft flavor: the airy texture of potato and carrot puree harmoniously blends with juicy chicken meat, while fragrant pepper and dill add subtle spicy notes. It can be served as a standalone dish or complemented with crispy toasts. Chicken cream soup is especially good on cool evenings when warmth and coziness are desired. It is easy to prepare but can adorn any table—be it a family dinner or a festive lunch.
