Ingredients

  • 800 g chicken legs
  • 2 shallots
  • 2 carrots
  • 30 g butter
  • 1,5 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 30 g semolina
  • 140 g sweetcorn
  • 1 liter water

Instructions

  • Prep the veggies. Peel and slice the carrots. Finely mince the shallot and grate the ginger. Drain the canned corn and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot, add the shallot and grated ginger, cook on medium heat until fragrant, 2 minutes.
  • Drop in the chicken legs and sear in the butter on all sides, 5 minutes.
  • Aside, boil the water and add it until there is enough so the chicken is entirely covered. Add the sliced carrots, bay leaf and salt.
  • Cook on medium heat for 30 minutes. Keep covered, letting a little opening for the steam to escape.
  • Lower the heat, remove the chicken legs and bay leaf. Add the semolina to the broth, slowly stirring to prevent lumps, it will swell.
  • Tear meat away from bones and skin, put meat back into the soup, along with the sweetcorn. Let the corn come to temperature one minute, then serve.
