Ingredients

• 6 cups Beef broth
• 1 whole Chicken breast
• 250 grams Gluten-free smoked sausage
• 250 grams Gluten-free ham
• 1 large Onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Pickles
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 whole Lemon
• 100 grams Black olives
• 50 grams Capers
• 2 tablespoons Dill
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 leaves Bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the chicken breast in a pot with the beef broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 2

While the chicken is cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Finely dice the onion and add it to the pan, cooking until it becomes translucent.

Step 3

Thinly slice the gluten-free smoked sausage and ham. Add them to the pan with the onions, sautéing for another 5 minutes until they just begin to brown.

Step 4

Chop the pickles into thin slices and add them to the pan along with the tomato paste. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 5

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside to cool slightly before shredding it into pieces.

Step 6

Add the contents of the frying pan to the pot with the beef broth along with the shredded chicken.

Step 7

Slice the lemon into thin rounds and add it to the pot along with the black olives, capers, dill, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves.

Step 8

Allow the soup to simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnishing with additional dill if desired. Optionally, serve with a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess.
