Put the chicken thighs in a pot with the water and half the salt, then boil for 25 minutes.
Remove and shred the chicken, keeping the broth hot.
Soften the onion, garlic, and carrots in olive oil for 6 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and shredded chicken to the vegetables.
Knead small balls with the cornmeal, crumbled cheese, milk, remaining salt, and black pepper.
Drop the balls into the boiling soup and cook for 14 minutes, until they swell.
Finish with parsley and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Do not knead the corn balls too firmly; a slightly coarse texture makes them softer as they swell in the soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve vori vori in hot bowls with parsley and an optional lemon wedge.
