How to Make Clear Chicken Soup

Chicken Broth Clarified

1

Remove the innards from a full chicken and submerge it in water or prepared chicken broth. The chicken flavor will be stronger from a broth-based recipe, but some prepared broths contain large amounts of sodium or monosodium glutamate.

2

Add onion, carrots, celery and parsley.

3

Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for one hour.

4

Remove chicken and vegetables and skim off fat.

5

Strain broth through sieve.

6

Combine 1/4 cup cold water with egg white and broken shell. Add to strained broth and bring to a boil.

7

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

8

Strain broth through cheesecloth-lined sieve and discard egg and shell pieces.
