Broth from a whole hen with chopped cooked meat, sage and onion, thickened with three heated yolks.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Set whole hen in water with chopped onion, sage, salt and pepper. Simmer gently until tender and thickest whole-bird meat reaches 82 °C, about 1½–2 hours.

  2. Step 2

    Lift hen, strain broth if needed, remove skin and bones and chop cooked meat finely. Return meat to hot broth.

  3. Step 3

    Temper beaten yolks with ladles of hot soup, return to pan and stir over low heat until the entire egg-enriched soup reaches 74 °C. Add parsley and serve at once without a vigorous boil.
