Creamy Chicken Liver Soup
Creamy Chicken Liver Soup
Ingredients
- 1 lb about 450 g chicken livers, cleaned and trimmed
- 4 cups about 950 ml chicken broth
- 1 cup about 240 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons about 30 ml unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon about 5 ml salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon about 2.5 ml black pepper, or to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Sautéing Chicken Livers: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chicken livers and sauté until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the middle, about 3-4 minutes per side. Season with salt and optional black pepper during cooking.
- Blending: Transfer the sautéed chicken livers to a blender, along with 1 cup (about 240 ml) of chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
- Combining: Pour the liver mixture back into the skillet or a soup pot. Add the remaining 3 cups (about 710 ml) of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Adding Cream: Once the soup reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Warm through, ensuring not to boil, to keep the cream from curdling.
- Final Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serving: Serve the soup hot, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for color and flavor.
