Recipe taken from a culinary magazine.

Ingredients

Chicken gizzards 20 oz
Carrot 1 piece
Celery stalk 1 piece
Salad Potatoes 5 pieces
Bay leaf 2 pieces
Green peppercorns 5 pieces
Ground Black Pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Wheat Flour 2 tablespoons
Parsley 1 bunch

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Rinse the gizzards, removing any excess, especially the yellow ribbed membrane, as it is bitter and will affect the taste of the soup.

Step 2

Place the cleaned chicken gizzards in a pot, cover with water, and put on the heat.

Step 3

When it boils, add the peeled onion and carrot, whole or cut in half, along with the celery stalk.

Step 4

Bring the broth to a boil, carefully skimming off the foam.

Step 5

Add the bay leaf and peppercorns to the broth.

Step 6

Let it simmer on low heat until the gizzards are tender, about 30–40 minutes.

Step 7

Meanwhile, peel and dice the potatoes.

Step 8

Gather the parsley into a bunch and carefully cut off the leaves.

Step 9

First, finely chop the stems, then the leaves. This is important; each bunch should be separate.

Step 10

When the gizzards are almost ready, after exactly 40 minutes, remove the onion, carrot, celery, and bay leaf with a slotted spoon.

Step 11

Add the potatoes and the chopped parsley stems to the pot.

Step 12

When the soup comes to a boil again, add salt.

Step 13

Cook until the potatoes are done, about 15 minutes.

Step 14

Now we need to thicken our soup so it becomes a hearty stew rather than just broth. For this, dissolve 2 tablespoons of flour in water. Mix thoroughly to avoid lumps.

Step 15

Slowly pour the dissolved flour into the boiling broth while stirring continuously until the broth thickens, then let it simmer for a bit. After that, season the soup with freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.

Step 16

You can add any spices to taste. For example, a bit of cloves or nutmeg. You can also use herbs to your liking; dill and cilantro work well.
