Healthy Chicken Soup for Every Soul
chicken soup recipeA healthy protein-rich bowl of soup
However, being in the hospitality industry I have had prior experiences in winning over the most difficult guests (read – Obnoxious). So, why not my own one-year-old girl?
That’s when I tried to make this protein-rich, easy-to-digest, good old chicken soup. But this recipe has the twist of taste that was acceptable by my tantrum-throwing-kid’s palate. After several mopping-soup-off-the-floor sessions, smiles and happy cries, I finally found the perfect recipe to make her happy.
Here’s sharing with you all my own variation of the chicken soup that can be actually relished by all.
Ingredients:
200 gms boneless chicken breasts
60 gms onions
5 gms garlic
2 gms ginger
1 gm black pepper corn (Optional)
3 gms cooking salt
20 ml cooking oil
Method:
1. Clean and cut chicken into small pieces.
2. Peel and dice the onions. Wash with water and drain; keep on the kitchen towel to absorb excess moisture.
3. Peel and cut garlic into small pea-sized dices (this allows only limited flavor into food, but great if your kid is little big, they can eat this as corn-look-like-pieces)
4. Wash, peel and dice ginger into pea-sized shape.
5. Heat oil in a soup pan and add black pepper, garlic and onion. Sauté till onion turns translucent, add ginger and stir for a while.
6. Add chicken pieces and continue cooking till chicken turns white from outside, but remains un-cooked.
7. Add 1 litre water and bring to boil, simmer for 25-30 minutes.
8. Strain and discard all solids, chicken pieces could be retained for curry making or given to elders with soup as garnish. Add and adjust seasoning.
