👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Place the whole chicken, 12 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and peppercorns in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has reduced by about half (approximately 1.5 hours).

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. Strain the stock into a clean saucepan, discarding the solids. Skim any fat from the surface and simmer the stock until reduced to about 1.2 liters (20-25 minutes).
- 3
While the stock is reducing, prepare the dumplings. In a bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/3 cup of water.

In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cleaned and sliced leeks, grated carrots, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook until softened and beginning to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir the reduced stock into the leek mixture. Add the fresh thyme branches. Bring the broth to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium, maintaining a gentle simmer.

Gradually add the flour-egg mixture to the simmering broth, stirring constantly to combine. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer. Using two spoons, drop rough tablespoon-sized dumplings into the soup. Cover and cook for 2 minutes without stirring. Gently stir, then cook for another 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, debone the cooled chicken and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Add the shredded chicken to the soup and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into warm bowls and serve immediately.
