Borș Moldovenesc (Sour Moldavian Soup)

How to Make Borscht Soup:

• For this Moldovan borş, it is advisable to use the best chicken so that the resulting aroma is as tasty as possible. As for the vermicelli, use the finest possible.
• Wash and clean the meat thoroughly and boil in salted water. Be sure to remove the foam often during cooking.
• You will notice that the chicken is cooked when the flesh easily comes off the bones.
• Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: peel and cut into small cubes.
• When the meat is well cooked, take it out of the pan and put it in a large dish to remove the bones.
• In the broth left in the pan, add the chopped vegetables (onion, carrot, celery, and parsnip) and let it boil.
• Once the vegetables are cooked, add the meat and cook for a few more minutes.
• Then add the borş.
• If using vermicelli, cook it first in a separate pan.
• Once cooked, put it in the pot of meat and vegetables.
• Finally, sprinkle the chopped fresh herbs over the soup. Add the fresh lovage after taking the soup off the heat.

Enjoy your meal! Pofta buna!
