Ingredients
| 2 | chicken drumsticks |
| 1 глава/head | onion |
| 1 | carrot |
| 3 литра/liters | stock (water) |
| 3-4 | potatoes |
| 2 щипки/pinches | vermicelli |

| малко a few | sun-dried tomatoes |
| 1 | egg yolk (for tempering) |
| 4-5 с.л./tbsp | yogurt (for tempering) |

Instructions
- Sauté 1 finely chopped carrot and 1 finely chopped onion. Then add 2-3 liters of water (as much as the pot holds) and add 2 drumsticks (drumsticks work best because they release the most aroma and flavor). As they boil they will generate a thick white foam that you must skim off!
- After the first round of foam, add a stock cube proportional to the amount of water, a little sweet red paprika, parsley and celery.
- Once cooked (do not overcook them), remove the drumsticks, add 3-4 diced potatoes and cook until tender. Then add two pinches of vermicelli, return the shredded chicken meat and cook until the vermicelli is done.
- Optional tempering: whisk 1 egg yolk, 4-5 tbsp yogurt and 1-2 drops of vinegar, temper with a little of the hot broth, then stir into the soup.
