Instructions

• 1.   Start cooking
  Preparation time: 30 min. (+ 4 h 15 min. cooking time)
  
  Place the chicken wings in a large pot. Add 4 liters of water, half of the carrots cut into chunks, half of the peeled and chopped celeriac, unpeeled ginger sliced ​​into rounds, and the whole peeled and slightly crushed garlic cloves. Also add the quartered yellow onions (1 peeled and 1 with the skin to color the broth), the bouquet garni, coriander, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and let simmer for 4 hours if you have time (or at least 2 hours and 30 minutes).
• 2.   Cook the lentils according to the instructions on the packaging.
  Strain the broth, let it rest for 5 minutes, then gently place a paper towel on the surface to absorb the fat. Repeat if necessary. Add the curry, smoked paprika, and the juice of half a lemon. Return to the heat and bring to a boil.
• 3.   Cut the remaining carrots into half-moons, the remaining celeriac into small cubes (1 cm), and the red onions into slices. Add them to the broth. Cook for about ten minutes, then add the drained lentils and simmer for another 5 minutes.
• 4.   Cut the mushrooms in half and sauté them over medium heat in a large skillet with olive oil. Add them to the broth, adjust the seasoning, and serve.

Notes & Suggestions

• Tip: You can use other chicken pieces instead of wings, but not chicken breasts: you need cartilage and a little fat to get a good broth. If you prepare it the day before, you can easily remove the fat the next day: it solidifies on the surface and can be collected.
