Chicken heart soup with dumplings
Description
A hearty first course. Boiled chicken hearts are very tasty, so they make excellent soups. To make the soup more filling, add dumplings (they are very easy to prepare). To make chicken heart soup with dumplings, we'll also need regular chicken broth (you can boil a chicken leg or thigh)—it's more delicate than broth made from hearts. By the way, you can also confidently add the boiled chicken meat to the soup later. Check out the recipe. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.

Step 2
Place the hearts in cold water and start boiling. Add onion, carrot, bay leaf, and spices. Be sure to skim off the foam. I usually discard the broth from the hearts and make the soup later using regular chicken broth. In my opinion, the broth made from hearts isn't very tasty.
