Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 pound veal breast
1 ½ pounds chicken wings
1 onion stuck with 2 cloves
2 bay leaves
2 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 carrots, scraped and cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt to taste
10 peppercorns
1 dill sprig
Veal meatballs (see recipe)
¼ pound fresh kosher salmon caviar
1 bunch watercress
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a 10-quart soup kettle. Add the garlic and saute for a minute, then add the veal and brown on all sides. Add the chicken wings and four quarts of water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, skimming the top from time to time.
- Step 2
Add the onion, bay leaves, celery, carrots, salt, peppercorns and dill. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for one hour or until the veal is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Step 3
Remove the veal and save for making the meatballs. Strain the soup through a fine sieve. Cool and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Step 4
When preparing to serve, skim the fat from the surface of the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, lower the heat and gently drop in the tiny meatballs. Cook for 15 minutes.
- Step 5
To serve, pour the soup in individual bowls. Place three meatballs in each bowl, garnish each with one-half teaspoon of fresh salmon caviar and watercress leaves.
