Step cooking
Cooking broth
- We wash two legs well. We clean and wash two carrots, two onions and 300 g of potatoes. One hundred grams of rice is well washed. Pour cold water (3 liters) into a large pot. There we throw one whole onion, one carrot and put 2 chicken legs.

- We cover the pan with a lid and put on the stove. After boiling the broth, reduce the heat to medium, after removing the foam.

- The legs should cook for about 30-35 minutes, after which they need to be removed from the pan. We also take out vegetables that we no longer need. Let the legs cool down.

- Cut the potatoes into cubes or cubes.

- In the resulting broth we put washed rice and potatoes. After about 20-25 minutes, the potatoes and rice will be ready.

Making Soup Dressings
- Finely chop one onion.

- Three carrots on a medium grater.

- Pour 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil into the pan. We put onions there and fry until transparent, stirring with a spatula.

- Add the grated carrots to it. We pass it all for about 2-3 minutes.

- Add 70-80 g of tomato paste to the sauté, add a little water. Tomato paste can be replaced with tomato juice or grated fresh tomatoes.

- Cook for another 3-4 minutes and remove from heat.

The final stage
- After removing the skin from the legs, we separate the meat from the bone and cut it into cubes.

- Add the meat to the pot to the potatoes and rice.

- Add salt, pepper to taste and mix. Add 1-2 bay leaves, add sweet paprika (1/3 teaspoon).

- Mix everything carefully. After 2-3 minutes, put the cooked dressing in the soup with the addition of adjika (1 tablespoon).

- We put 1-1.5 tablespoons of frozen dill and bring the soup to a boil. Instead of frozen, you can put dried dill. The taste will be completely different. Another favorite among herbs is parsley. It can replace dill.

- Before serving, take out the bay leaf.
