Easy Chicken Soup


If you need a break from the heavy food, prepare a pot of chicken soup on your stove and serve it with warm dinner rolls. A bowl of chicken soup will sooth a sore throat and a welcome meal on a cold day!

Ingredients

Chicken - 1 whole
Onion - 1 big
Green chillies (optional) - 3
Carrots
Celery
Curry leavesCilantro leaves
Bay leaf
Cumin powder
Pepper powder
Salt


Method

Place the Chicken in a pan and add enough water (you can use chicken broth + water) and add the vegetables (carrots and celery). Add enough salt, turmeric powder and cumin powder.



Cover and simmer for 30 - 40 minutes or until chicken is done and vegetables are tender.


Take the chicken and remove the bones and cut into small pieces and add the chicken back to the soup.


In a pan, add 3-4 tsp of oil and saute the onions, green chillies and curry leaves. When the onion becomes translucent, add the soup with the vegetables and chicken. Garnish the soup with cilantro leaves.


Serve in a bowl, then sprinkle black pepper over the top. Enjoy!
