Chicken Collagen Soup

This chicken soup is prepared from a homemade collagen broth, obtained by cooking a whole chicken and several chicken thighs with fresh vegetables for 1 hour and 30 minutes in a pressure cooker. This long pressure cooking extracts a maximum of collagen, flavor, and nutrients from the bones, resulting in a fragrant, rich, and naturally comforting broth.

Instructions

1. Cut the chicken into pieces (breast, wings, thighs, drumsticks, carcass, and feet if you have them). The feet are very rich in collagen. Put all the pieces with the skin as well as the carcass in the pressure cooker.
2. Cover with cold water up to the chicken (or more).
3. Add to the pot:
additional chicken thighs + sliced carrots + whole onion + leek (white and green parts, cut into 3 pieces) + bay leaf + turmeric + vinegar + salt.
4. Close the pressure cooker. When the pressure builds up, cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
5. Open the pressure cooker, remove the meat and vegetables. Remove the surface fat (optional).
6. Prepare the eggs: beat the eggs in a bowl. Bring the broth to a boil, then pour the beaten eggs in a thin stream while stirring gently.
7. Cook the pasta separately, then drain them.
8. Serve: broth + egg + shredded chicken + vegetables + a little pasta.
9. Season with salt and a drizzle of lemon (optional, according to taste).
