Ingredients

500 g chicken

1 onion

1 cup rice

1 carrot

2 tomatoes

3 potatoes

4 tbsp oil

1 egg

savory

parsley

1 dried hot pepper

paprika

salt

Method

Chop the onion very finely. You can use a food processor to speed up the process.
In a deep pot, heat 4 tbsp. of oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion.
Sauté the onion, stirring occasionally, until it softens and becomes translucent. This takes about 5-6 minutes.
Add 500 g of chicken, cut into small pieces. Fry the meat together with the onion until the meat changes color and is lightly sealed.
Cut 1 carrot into small cubes, about 1 cm. Add it to the meat and onion and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour everything with 5 cups of water. Make sure the water covers the meat and vegetables.
When the water boils, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer. Remove the foam that forms on the surface.
Cut 3 potatoes into cubes, about 1 cm. Add them to the soup.
Peel 2 tomatoes and grate them on a coarse grater. Add them to the soup.
Add 1 cup of rice to the soup. Stir well to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Add 1 tsp. of red pepper, savory, thyme, and salt to taste. Stir well.
Let the soup simmer over low heat until the potatoes and rice are fully cooked. This takes about 15-20 minutes.
Beat 1 egg in a small bowl. Slowly pour 2-3 tbsp. of the hot soup into the egg, whisking constantly to prevent the egg from curdling.
Pour the egg mixture back into the pot and stir well. Let the soup simmer for another 1-2 minutes, without boiling.
Remove the pot from the heat. Crumble 1 dried hot pepper and add it to the soup.
Serve the chicken kurban soup hot, sprinkled with finely chopped parsley.
