- Bay leaf and allspice
- 3 Med. onions
- 3 Carrots
- 1 Celeriac root

Instructions:
Clean the chicken well. Put it in the stewpot and immediatel add the
mixed vegetables, bayleaf, allspice, peppercorns, and a little salt.
Cover with cold water. Bring to the boil three times, skimming and
adding a little cold water each time to send the cloudy bits to the
bottom. Simmer for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the chicken is tender.
Slice the cabbage if you're using it and add 15 minutes before the
end of cooking time. Mash the bread (or mix the cream) with 1 T of
the vinegar. Beat this mixture into the egg yolks and add a ladle of
hot broth to the mixture. Beat in well. Remove the broth from the
heat and stir in the egg mixture. Do not allow the soup to boil
again.
Chop the herbs and scatter them over. Serve the soup with bread and
wine.
