Polish Chicken Soup (Rosol)

Adapted from a traditional Polish meat broth known as rosol, Polish chicken soup is often served with pasta. The soup is ladled over top of the noodles just before serving to avoid saturating them. Making homemade broth, as in this recipe, results in a deeply flavored base that can be eaten alone or with additional ingredients. From the early 1800s to 1939, about 5 million Poles came to America. They came to avoid required military service, religious persecution, and to seek better opportunities.
