Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat broth in a small pot until steaming. Sprinkle gelatin over and stir until fully dissolved, ~1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Remove from heat. Stir in vinegar and half the fresh herbs. Pour into a shallow bowl and chill in freezer, ~8 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Divide chicken, kielbasa, carrot, and cucumber among four serving bowls or glasses.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the cooled (slightly thickened) broth over the meat and vegetables.

  5. Step 5

    Top with remaining fresh herbs. Serve chilled or let it fully set in the fridge for 15+ minutes if you prefer firmer gelatin.
