Chicken puree soup
Description
A hearty first course. One of the first dishes I prepared after buying a blender was chicken puree soup. The recipe isn't my own—I found it in some cookbook, can't even remember which one. The chicken puree soup exceeded all expectations and firmly established itself in our family's menu. I think if you make it, the same thing will happen to you. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Then remove the pot from the heat and immediately, while the soup is still hot, add the eggs beaten separately in a small bowl. The eggs should be poured in a thin stream while continuously whisking the soup with a whisk, so that the eggs do not have time to coagulate.
