   ·       Green chilli: 2 chopped

   ·       Turmeric powder,red chilli powder and salt according to your wish.

   ·       Black pepper: 2 Tbspn full if you like it spicy otherwise according to your tastebuds tolerance.

   ·       Cornflour: 2Tbspn

PROCESS:

  1.   First cut the chicken pieces into small thin stripes and wash them thoroughly.

  2.   Mix ½ of the chicken pieces with the turmeric pwdr and chilli pwdr and little salt and cook them in a pressure cooker for 2-3 whistles to make the chicken stock. Filter the boiled chicken pieces from the stock.

  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.
