This creamy chicken and vegetable soup with pasta and an egg-cream tempering is a beloved comfort food that combines rich flavors with nutritious ingredients. It’s based on tender boiled chicken, sweet carrots, potatoes, dried tomatoes, and a handful of pasta to make it heartier. The final touch — a delicate tempering made from egg and cream — adds a luxurious texture without overwhelming the natural flavors. Ideal for cold evenings or as a soothing lunch, this soup delivers warmth in every spoonful.

Kitchen Tools Used:

Chopping board & knife
Grater or garlic press
Wooden spoon
Ladle
Small saucepan for tempering
Whisk

Ingredients

  • 250 g white chicken meat (boiled and finely shredded)

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

  • 100 g canned or fresh finely chopped tomatoes

  • 1 medium carrot, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons

  • 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth

  • 4 medium potatoes, diced

  • 1 tbsp oil (sunflower or neutral

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 50 g finely chopped dried tomatoes

  • 50–100 g fusilly or small pasta of choice

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or sour cream

  • 4 cups (1 liter) water

  • ½ tsp summer savory (or substitute with thyme)

  • Salt to taste

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

  • Preparing

    Start by boiling the chicken breast in salted water until cooked through — this usually takes about 15–20 minutes. Once done, let it cool slightly and shred the meat into small, bite-sized pieces using your fingers or a fork. Prepare your vegetables: finely chop the onion and garlic, slice the carrot into half-moons, dice the potatoes, and chop the dried tomatoes.

  • Cooking

    In a separate pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced carrots and continue to cook for another minute. Pour in the chicken broth followed by the water and bring everything to a boil. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, shredded chicken, and summer savory. Once the mixture is bubbling, add the diced potatoes and chopped dried tomatoes. Season with salt. Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are fully softened.

  • Finishing

    Add the pasta (use more or less depending on preference) and simmer for an additional 3–4 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Meanwhile, prepare the egg-cream tempering: In a small saucepan, whisk one egg with the cream until smooth. Place it over low heat and stir constantly until the mixture is warm but not cooked (avoid scrambling). Temper the mixture by slowly adding 3–4 ladles of the hot soup broth while whisking continuously. Once tempered, pour the mixture back into the soup pot and stir gently to combine.Chicken soup with fusilli
  • Serving

    Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish each bowl with freshly chopped parsley before serving. This soup is best enjoyed warm and fresh but also stores well for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • ✅ Do:
    ✅ Finely shred the chicken for better texture and easier spoonfuls.
    ✅ Temper the egg and cream mixture slowly by adding hot broth little by little.
    ✅ Use fresh parsley for garnish — it brightens the flavor and adds a fresh aroma.
    ✅ Simmer the vegetables until just tender to preserve their texture and nutrients.
    ✅ Taste and adjust salt before adding the pasta.
    ❌ Don’t:
    ❌ Don’t add the egg-cream mixture directly to boiling soup — it may curdle.
    ❌ Don’t overcook the pasta; it will continue to soften even after removing from heat.
    ❌ Don’t skip tempering — it ensures a silky smooth finish without scrambled egg.
    ❌ Don’t use too much dried tomato if it’s very salty or sour — it can overpower the broth.
