Vegetable Soup with Chicken, Kohlrabi and Swiss Chard

The chicken drumsticks cook here together with the vegetables and give the soup a deep flavor, and their meat goes back into the pot at the end. The kohlrabi gives a gentle sweetness, and the Swiss chard goes in only at the end so it stays green.

  2. 2
    Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the onion in it 6–7 minutes, until it is translucent and soft.
