About Romanian chicken soup

Romanian Chicken Soup, known as "Ciorbă de Pui," is a comforting traditional dish from Romanian cuisine. Made with chicken, root vegetables like carrots and parsnips, onions, and sometimes celery, it is simmered to perfection in a savory broth often seasoned with dill and parsley for freshness. A unique aspect is its slight tanginess, achieved by adding lemon juice or a souring agent such as vinegar or bors (fermented wheat bran). This soup is low in fat and rich in protein from the chicken, as well as vitamins and minerals from the vegetables. It's typically enjoyed with a slice of crusty bread or a dollop of sour cream, making it a wholesome, hearty meal. While nutritious and hydrating, consuming large amounts of sour cream or refined bread alongside may increase calorie content. Overall, Romanian Chicken Soup is a delicious, balanced option for healthy eating.
