Hana says: Take the flanken and chicken out of the soup when it's nearly done, and serve them separately. Leave the shinbone in so the meat is falling off the bone.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a very large pot, combine chicken pieces, flanken and shinbone. Add water to cover, place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully remove foam as it forms.

  2. Step 2

    When there is no more foam, add vegetables in following order: carrot chunks, celery chunks, parsnip, turnip, parsley roots, onion, garlic, leek and zucchini. As vegetables become tender, remove them.

  3. Step 3

    When all vegetables have been removed, add parsley and dill. Simmer until flanken is very tender, about 2 hours. Discard parsley and dill. Remove flanken and chicken, and set aside. Strain soup, then return meat, chicken and shinbone to pot.

  4. Step 4

    Before serving soup, remove fat from surface. Add marrow-bone ends, sliced carrots and sliced celery. Place over medium heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender. Remove and discard marrow bones. Remove flanken and chicken; slice and serve separately. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Two questions: 1) Should the soup be simmered covered, as otherwise there would be a lot of evaporation and loss of liquid? I cooked the soup covered from step 3 on. 2) The recipe calls for seasoning with salt at the end of step 4. I would have thought that the meat should be cooked with salt and then adjusted at the end with salt and pepper to taste.
