This soup if what we all need to beat the weather now!! And it’s really simple to make just follow my recipe and watch the video?
500gm free range chicken bones, skinless
500gm free range chicken meat, skinless
1whole red onion, diced
4cloves garlic, smashed & skin on
Thumb size ginger, smashed & skin on
200gm carrots, big chunks
1whole red chilli, split
In a hot pot heat up 3tbsp coconut oil and fry of chicken bones until light brown. Add onions and sweat followed by garlic, ginger, carrots, red chilli & fry them all until fragrant.
Chinese herbs:
300gm mixture of dehydrated Chinese herbs & fruits
1L of hot water
2pieces bay leaves
1tbsp black peppercorns
Hydrate the dehydrated herbs in 2L of hot water for 20mins. Add herbs and infused water to frying bones pot and scrape the bottom & sides on the pot. Bay leaves and peppercorns can be added after scrapping. Season with a pinch of salt for now.
Close the pot and allow it to boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce fire and allow it to simmer for an hour.
After an hour of simmering, you will realise the soul has reduced down by half. Remove the bones(optional) and add in the chicken meat & 500gm diced potato. Pour in 2L of water and let it boil again on a high fire for 25mins.
Garnish with lots of coriander and season to taste. Goes perfectly well with steamed rice, fried omelette or this can even be a broth for your noodle soup.
Happy cooking guys!! ?
