Today we are going to cook chorba or “shurpa” as it is often pronounced in Russia. This soup can be made in different ways and from different meat. What we found on our table today was a cock.
For a kilogram of poultry we need 2,5-3 litres of water. For a poultry of an average size we need one kilogram of onions and about 300 grams of carrots. When we boil it all we add some salt, of course, and remove the scum.
Turn the poultry upside down repeatedly.
Potatoes can be boiled for an hour, it won’t spoil them.
Let the fire be slow.
Add some peppers.
Tomatoes and basil are better be boiled for ten minutes only.
The better your poultry is the less spices you need. The poultry and the potatoes are better be served on a separate dish.
That broth is like a tear! It is wonderful even if eaten separately. Though it may be accompanied by vegetables and thin crispy bread.

the title sounds hilarious…
It gets even better with the photo descriptions: “Turn the cock upside down repeatedly.”…. WTF? LOL….
Translations and word choices can be hilarious from one culture to another, in the States this post would be the Genesis of jokes about a man’s “Johnson”.
“What we found on our table today was a cock. For a cock of an average size… Turn the cock upside down repeatedly. The better your cock is… “
here in italy we cook it too, but without peppers. very good during the winter…

This post was hilarious. Thank you for the great laugh 
“When we boil it all we add some salt, of course, and scum.”
Scum?
Hahahahaha
Skim the foam off your rooster broth otherwise it will clump later and look like a turd at the bottom of the pot.
“SCUM” must be a word lost in translation. Least I hope so anyway
I always like a bit of paprika in mine, but it looks very good just the same, Enjoy on these Cold days and nights. And just to be sure……… chase with iced Vodka..
“That broth is like a tear!” seriously. babelfish?
