Chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks), chicken broth, water, celery, fresh garlic, bay leaf, fresh parsley, sea salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
N/A. Explicitly request no pasta, rice, or starchy vegetables (e.g., potatoes, carrots) in the broth.
Say this to the waiter (Maltese)
Tiġieġ fil-Brodu mingħajr għaġin, ross, patata jew karrotti, jekk jogħġbok.
I'd like the Tiġieġ fil-Brodu without any pasta, rice, potatoes, or carrots, please.
Watch out for
Risk of hidden pasta or rice if served as a general 'chicken soup'. Minimal carbs from strained vegetables if present.
