Celery soup with chestnuts
Chicken Stock Ingredients:
- 400g chicken
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 carrot
- ½ onion
- cloves
- allspice (spices)

For the stock, instead of chicken legs and wings we can use the breast, or any part of the chicken weighing 300-400 grams. Peel the carrot and cut into large circles, peel the onion keeping it whole, peel 1-2 garlic cloves. Place the chicken, carrot, onion, bay leaf, garlic and allspice in a saucepan and add 2 litres of cold water. Bring to a boil, add 2 pinches of salt and cook over low heat, removing any foam that forms, for 40-50 minutes.
