Chicken soup with an edible private jet as a nod to Harry and Meghan’s return flight.
Clear chicken soup featuring an edible private jet: a long chicken fillet as fuselage, halved eggs as engines, carrot strips as wings. Served solemnly, referencing Harry and Meghan’s flight back.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (keep whole and long)
- 2 liters chicken stock
- 2 large carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 onions
- 4 eggs
- 1 leek
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 sprigs parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Bring the chicken stock to a boil with bay leaf and chicken breasts. Simmer gently for 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken breasts and keep whole. Strain the stock.
- Cut carrot and celery into thin strips about 8 cm long. Slice leek into thin rings. Chop the onion.
- Boil the eggs hard, peel and halve them lengthwise.
- Add onion, carrot, celery, and leek to the stock. Simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice one chicken breast lengthwise. On each plate, lay a long piece of chicken as the airplane fuselage.
- Place a halved boiled egg on each side as engines. Lay carrot strips as wings and a short one as the tail.
- Ladle the soup carefully around the plane. Garnish with parsley.
Serving notes
- Serve on a large white plate so the airplane is clearly visible.
- Garnish with an extra parsley sprig as a ‘runway’.
- Serve without extra bread to keep the silhouette sharp.
