A day cooking with my CROATIAN in-laws! Baka's SOUP & Dida's SURPRISE recipe!

chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner, while chicken thighs are more affordable.

noodles

🥗Healthier: zucchini noodles

💰Cheaper: rice

Zucchini noodles are low-carb, while rice is a budget-friendly staple.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, while vegetable oil is often cheaper.

bay leaves

💰Cheaper: dried thyme

Thyme offers a similar aromatic flavor at a lower cost.

Go to the market to buy fresh chicken and vegetables for the soup.

Purchase 4 chicken feet and some stomach bits for flavor.

Get parsley, onion, carrots, and celery root from the market.

Wash the chicken and vegetables before cooking.

Add chicken feet and stomach bits to the pot for flavor.

After 45 minutes, remove the carrots from the pot.

Add noodles to the pot, measuring with hands, and cook for about 3 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the soup rest before serving.
