Place the soup chicken in a large pot of water. Make sure the chicken is completely submerged. Cut the onion, celery, and carrots into large pieces. Add them along with the thyme, bay leaf, and garlic to the chicken. Season with pepper and cloves. Put the lid on the pot and let it simmer for 45 to 60 minutes.
Peel the red beet and cut it into large pieces as well. Wet your cutting board so that the juice from the red beet doesn't seep into the board. Remove the soup chicken from the water once it is cooked and also remove the thyme and bay leaf. Now add the pieces of red beet and let them cook through. Season with the tomato paste and grated nutmeg, and blend the soup finely.
Mix a jar of sour cream with pepper, the juice of half a lemon, and the finely chopped leaves of the fennel. Save a fennel sprig for garnish. Whip until you have a nice consistency.
Heat a splash of olive oil in the pan. Cut fine slices of the bread and cut the slices into two or three pieces. Let them color in the pan.
Serve each bowl of soup with some bread crusts, the sour herb cream, a teaspoon of salmon roe, and a sprig of fennel leaves.
