Tips

Skim the foam that rises at the first boil, and after that only a gentle bubble: a hard boil makes the soup cloudy.

Common Mistakes

A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.

More Ways

The basic vegetables are carrots, celery root, parsley root and onion; add the dill and parsley about a quarter of an hour before the end.
In the Middle Eastern version, first fry onion and the chicken pieces, and season with turmeric; cook covered about an hour with potatoes and carrots.
