Suggested Recipes
-
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
8 cups (2 L) sodium-reduced chicken stock
1 cup (250 mL) fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup (50 mL) minced fresh parsley
1 tsp (5 mL) dried basil
6 eggs
1/4 cup (50 mL) grated parmesan cheese
Preparation:
In large shallow saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, garlic, carrots, celery, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add chicken stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, spread bread crumbs on rimmed baking sheet; toast in 350°F (180°C) oven until golden, about 7 minutes. Whisk into stock mixture along with parsley and basil; heat until simmering.
Reduce heat to low. One at a time, break eggs into small dish; gently slip into different areas of soup. Poach, basting but not stirring, until whites are firm and yolks are soft, about 5 minutes. Ladle soup and 1 egg into each of 6 bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
