Azerbaijani chicken soup
Description
A hearty first course. This soup is very easy to prepare. You can use any meaty parts of chicken, but it's better not to use chicken breast. Choose spices to your taste, but I find black ground pepper and bay leaf sufficient. The soup is very tasty, aromatic, filling, and rich. The soup is ready to serve.
