Light chicken broth with carrots and onions
Description
You can add some frozen peas to this broth 5 minutes before the end of cooking. For a richer flavor, you may also add parsley root and celery root. A half of a boiled chicken egg goes perfectly with this broth. This is a light yet satisfying soup suitable for both adults and young children.

Rinse the chicken thoroughly, place it in a pot, cover with cold water, and put on the stove. Bring to a boil and skim off the foam. If desired, for a leaner version, you can remove the skin from the chicken.

Step 3
I don't like boiled onion in broth, so I just peel the onion and put it in whole. You can chop it finely if you prefer. Peel the carrot, cut it into pieces, and add it to the broth.
