Cooking steps

Step 1:

Wash the chicken back, put it in a saucepan, pour 1.5 liters of cold water. Add bay leaf and black allspice for flavor. Cover the saucepan with a lid and put it on the fire. Before boiling, remove the foam that has formed with a slotted spoon. Boil the chicken broth over low heat for 40 minutes, remove the chicken meat from the saucepan. It can be used to prepare other recipes, for example, add it to an omelet or a lavash roll.

Peel a large onion and cut it into small cubes. Wash the carrots, peel them, and cut them into thin quarter rings.

Step 3:

Put the vegetables in a deep frying pan with heated olive oil. Stir occasionally and sauté the onion and carrots over low heat until soft.

Step 4:

Wash the potatoes, peel them, and cut them into medium-sized cubes. Peel the pumpkin, remove the core and seeds. Cut the pumpkin flesh into medium-sized pieces.

Step 5:

Add the potatoes and pumpkin to the frying pan with the sautéed vegetables. Continue to fry the ingredients together for 5 minutes, stirring.

Then transfer the vegetables to a saucepan with boiling chicken broth. Boil the ingredients until soft, and puree with an immersion blender until smooth.
