Tricks for a simple leg soup
In this recipe I have shared a recipe that involves cooking the thighs separately and removing the meat from them. The pulp is then pureed to form the base of the soup. But if you don’t have much time available, you can follow this simple trick to prepare leg soup.
Cut the leg into small pieces, boil it and puree it in the blender, skin and all. Blend until smooth. Now you can filter the broth and prepare the soup. This method extracts maximum flavor from the legs, but the only drawback is that the soup will be runny. But the flavors will still be there.
