The much awaited monsoon has finally hit Mumbai and as usual has brought the colds and sore throats to Mumbaikars. There's nothing like a hot cup of chicken soup to perk you up and help fight the cold virus. It's easy to make and tastes great !
Ingredients
3-4 fleshy pieces of chicken
1 small onion
1 tspn coriander powder
1/4 to 1/2 tspn pepper powder
2-3 cloves
1 inch piece cinnamon
Few strands of coriander leaves
Salt to taste
1/2 - 1 tspn corn flour -- optional
1 tspn butter -- optional
Method
In pressure cooker , put washed chicken pieces and finely chopped onion along with coriander powder , cloves and cinnamon . Add 2-3 cups of water and pressure cook for 7-10 mins after the first whistle. When cool, open cooker and take out the chicken pieces and debone the flesh. Add 1/3 of the chicken flesh back to the cooker and put the contents in a blender and blend well. Heat to boiling point Add salt and pepper powder and the remaining shredded chicken and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot with garlic toast or bruschetta
Optional : In case you like your soup thicker, after blending and while heating, you can put the butter and corn flour on a pan, saute it and add the soup to it and mix well. If you like the soup to be more like a clear soup you can dilute by adding some boiling water.
