Chicken Wings Soup Recipe

We absolutely adore soup! It’s a must-have for every lunch, completing our meals perfectly. Our absolute favorites are the tangy ones, packed with an abundance of veggies, like this delectablechicken wingssoup. To achieve that desired sourness, we either prepare our own borscht for a special touch or generously add lemon juice and/or yogurt. Check out thisborscht recipefor a truly delightful twist!

Thischicken wingssoup can be made with chicken backs,chicken breastsor chickenthighsin addition to the wings. It’s one of the easiest recipes and our go-to soup. It requires less time to prepare and cook, and it’s relatively light due to the low fat content in the wings. It’s also a great way to utilize chicken parts like back and necks, which aren’t commonly used in many recipes. This simple chicken soup is especially useful when purchasing a whole chicken.

I prefer to firstboilthe wings and then, when they are almost done, remove the meat from the bones before continuing to cook the soup. However, you can always keep the wings whole and skip this additional step (unless you belong to my exclusive club where we take extra care to separate the skin from the meat). Both methods work equally well, but using the whole wings can actually save you some time, if you’re comfortable with that.

I enjoy the freedom of adding an abundance of vegetables to thischicken wingssoup. It’s a clever way to entice my daughter, who loves soups, into eating vegetables. While they may not retain their full nutritional value when cooked, opting for no vegetables at all is not a viable choice.
