How to Make Ottolenghi Chicken Soup
- In a large saucepan, add chicken thighs, head of garlic (whole), chopped onion, chicken stock, water, and salt. Bring to a boil uncovered.
- Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 30 minutes until the chicken is tender. Shred the cooled chicken and set aside.
- Carefully strain the stock through a sieve, discarding the solids. Reserve about 1.7 liters of this liquid for the soup.
- In the same pot, sauté diced carrots and chopped celery in olive oil for 4 minutes. Add crushed garlic and Parmesan rind, cooking for an additional 30 seconds.
- Stir in your reserved stock, seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Blend a portion of the soup with Greek yogurt and lemon juice until smooth.
- Re-add the blended soup to the pot, mixing in the orecchiette pasta and shredded chicken. Cook until the pasta is al dente, about 15 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, topping with fresh dill, cracked pepper, and grated Parmesan.
