In a bowl take 1 & 1/2 mini butter pack’s butter and liquefy it in a microwave within 1 minute.

2. While the butter is being melted you can grease the Teddy mould with the rest of the butter and sprinkle a little flour over that. Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius.

3. Now in a big container which will be now used to beat the liquid batter, take the melted butter. Beat it with a electric whisker for 1 minute.

4. Add powdered sugar to it. (Here we normally use powdered sugar but if you have normal sugar you can first measure the sugar then coarsely ground that) and again beat until it becomes a creamy texture.

5. Now add one egg and again beat for 2 minutes. (If you are using 2 medium eggs repeat this step after 2 minutes of beating the first egg)

6. Add the grated lemon peel, vanilla essence to it and again give it a good mix.

7. Now in this liquid batter slowly add the flour mixture and fold that in the liquid with a Table spoon. ( Do this step in 3-4 batches)

8. This time when you see that the mixture of the flour and liquid batter is becoming so sticky add the milk according to the consistency.

9. Now beat everything so well with the spoon until you get a creamy consistency like holding the spoon and its dropping like honey from the spoon.

10. At this step you give it a well stir with the electric whisker.

11. Pour the mixture in the moulds equally and set them in the oven for baking.

12. Baking time 30-35 minutes.

13. Bring it out of the oven and wait for 15-20 minutes as it’s so hot.

14. Use a knife to loosen the sides and invert it over a plate.

15. Now you can draw its eyes, smile with the liquid chocolate.

If you want you can decorate it according to your wish. Any tips about that will be highly appreciated.

  3.   Now, heat oil in a deep vessel. Then put garlic, onions, carrots and toss them for 5minutes so that the onion becomes translucent.

  4.   Then put the chicken pieces into the pan. (Both the raw chicken pieces and the boiled chicken pieces).

  5.   Stir for another 2 minutes.

  6.   Now, add black pepper and salt and mix it very well.

  7.   Then pour the chicken stock that you stored into the vessel and cook it on medium flame for 5 minutes with covered lid.

  8.   Meanwhile put the green peas into the vessel as well. (After pouring the stock we’ll toss the green peas so that it does not break).

  9.   In these 5 minutes you will make the cornflour solution i.e. 2 Tbspn cornflour with 4 Tbspn water.

  10.                     After 5 minutes add this solution to the soup and give it a stir to mix.

  11.                     Then adjust the salt as more water went in.

  12.                     After 2 minutes put out the flame and your Simple Chicken Soup is ready to serve.

  13.                     I used Fresh Cream for garnishing the soup but it’s optional.

       And yes if you are making this soup for children you can omit the green chillies and use less black pepper.

So try this healthy recipe at your home and it can be served with simple bread and butter or any type of bread you like.
