Chicken Soup


I would say this is like indian-chinese recipe to make this soup. Tehsin showed me how to make this, and she makes this perfect. I tried it, turns out great every time. Its very easy too to make this, looks like a complicated recipe to others.

Ingredients:
Chicken few pieces(3-4 leg pieces),
Oil about 2 spoons,
1/2 spoon whole cumin,
1 tsp garlic paste,
1-2 cups chopped vegetables (onion, carrot, bell pepper, green peas)
1 tbsp cornflour,
salt, pepper as per taste,
1 egg,
water about 5-6 cups.

Boil the chicken pieces in all the water, till fully cooked. Remove the chicken pieces and shred them. Discard the bones. Reserve the stock (the water in which the chicken was boiled). Now in the same pot, put the oil, when it is hot, add the cumin and when it splatters add the garlic. Saute for a bit, then add the chopped vegetables. Fry for sometime. Add the stock and some salt and black pepper powder. Bring to a boil. Make a paste of cornstarch and about 2 – 3 tbsp of water. Add it slowly, while stirring to the soup. Again, bring to a boil. Finally, add the beaten egg slowly to this, stir constantly. Done!

For the upcoming V-Day, you could make this soup as a starter, and then have steamed rice and sesame chicken and stir fry veggies as your next course. Let me know, how this meal turns out for you. :-)
