WATERZOOIE - FLEMISH CHICKEN SOUP
This came in my email through Gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-World. Chicken soup is one my favorite soups. I will use leftover roasted chicken when I make this recipe - it's too easy to roast 2 or 3 at a time - more economical & everyone eats their favorite - the rest of the carcasses go into the soup pot! Use a cheese cloth bag (2 or 3 layers of cheesecloth around the spices) to hold the parsley, thyme, nutmeg, peppercorns & bay leaf. Original author suggested an aluminum foil packet with holes punched in it - that would work too.

Steps:
- Rub the chicken pieces with butter, then broil, 4 to 5 inches away from the heat, for 20 minutes, turning often.
- When lightly browned, put in a kettle with the giblets, and all the rest of the ingredients except for the lemon juice, egg yolks and cream. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 1 hour or more (less for fryers), until the chicken is tender.
- Remove chicken and giblets from the broth and cool. Discard the cheese cloth or aluminum foil packet.
- Strain the broth and skim off the fat. (If you're not serving the soup immediately, you could put the broth in the freezer to make the skimming easier.) Return broth to kettle and stir in the lemon juice.
- When ready to serve, cut the chicken in big chunks and mince the giblets. Remove bones and skin. Bring the broth to a simmer, then return the chicken and giblets to the broth. Heat through, covered, for 5 minutes.
- When ready to serve, beat the eggs and cream together, then beat a cup of the simmering broth into the egg cream and whisk the whole mixture back into the kettle.
- Rewarm at very low heat for a couple of minutes; don't bring to a boil or it will curdle! Ladle into deep souplates then float a thin lemon slice, sprinkled with parsley, in each one.
- Serve hot.

WATERZOOI (VATERZOY)
I learned this while stationed in the Flemish part of Belgium, in a village called Sint-Hubrechtslille. So tasty good, my daughter still asks me to make it for her 10 years later!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium -high heat and quickly brown the chicken pieces. Remove and set aside.

- In a small bowl or cup, combine the flour and lemon juice; pour into the pot and stir.

CHICKEN WATERZOOI
Waterzooi, a wine-deep Belgian stew originally made with fish, but more recently of chicken, was one of Julia Child's favorite dishes, first taught to her in Paris by the chef Max Bugnard. She gave the recipe to The New York Times in 1987. It is easy weeknight cooking: the dish can be assembled in the morning before work, or even the night before. Then, in the evening, simmer it for about half an hour, and then use the cooking liquid to make a light but creamy sauce. Serve with potatoes or good bread.

Steps:
- Trim and wash the vegetables and cut them into julienne matchsticks one and three-quarters inches long and one-eighth inch wide. (This should come to about five cups in all.) Toss them in a large mixing bowl with the tarragon and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
- Wash and dry the chicken pieces and set aside.
- Using a casserole large enough to hold the chicken and the vegetables comfortably, layer in the following order: one-third of the vegetables, half of the chicken, half of the remaining vegetables, the rest of the chicken and the remaining vegetables. Pour in the vermouth and enough chicken broth to barely cover the chicken. Up to this point, the recipe may be prepared several hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate.
- When ready to cook, bring to the simmer, covered, and cook slowly 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken pieces are tender and, when pierced, the juices run clear.
- Strain out the cooking liquid, degrease it and adjust the seasonings.
- Blend the cream and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl. Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl and stir in the cream mixture. Slowly whisk in the hot cooking liquid. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Set over medium-low heat, swirling the casserole gently, until the sauce is warmed and thickens slightly, but do not bring to the simmer or the egg yolks will curdle.
- To serve, ladle the chicken, vegetables and sauce into large warm soup bowls and sprinkle each serving with parsley.
- Serve with boiled potatoes, noodles, gnocchi or just good French bread.
