Buckwheat soup with chicken and potatoes is a comforting, hearty dish that has roots in Eastern European cuisine. This traditional soup is beloved for its earthy flavor, nutritious ingredients, and filling nature. Made with tender chicken, hearty potatoes, and wholesome buckwheat groats, it’s perfect for chilly days when you crave something warm and satisfying.
Buckwheat adds a unique, nutty flavor and a pleasing texture to the soup, while the chicken and vegetables make it a complete meal. Not only is this soup delicious, but it’s also packed with nutrients, making it a healthy option for your family.
In a large pot, add the chicken thighs and cover them with chicken broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot, shred the meat, and set it aside. Discard the bones if using bone-in thighs.
In a separate pan, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot with the broth. Stir in the sautéed vegetables, diced potatoes, rinsed buckwheat groats, bay leaf, and dried thyme. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and buckwheat groats are tender.
Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to your liking. You can also adjust the thickness by adding more broth or water if necessary.
Once the soup is ready, remove the bay leaf and ladle it into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or dill for a burst of color and freshness.
This traditional buckwheat soup with chicken and potatoes is the perfect blend of wholesome ingredients and comfort food. Whether you’re new to cooking with buckwheat or already a fan, this hearty, nutritious soup will become a go-to recipe in your kitchen. Try it on a cold day, and enjoy the warmth, flavor, and nourishment this classic dish provides!
