About the Recipe
This chicken soup is delicious and perfect for a sick or day where you don't feel much like cooking.
Easy for beginners and good for a lazy day!
Ingredients
1-2 chicken breasts (or thighs on the bone)
2 large carrots
3 large potatoes
1/2 large napa cabbage
1/2 large whole daikon
1/2 white cabbage
1 packet enoki mushrooms
1 packet shiitake mushrooms
Salt
White pepper (or black pepper if you prefer)
2 cubes of consommé (or chicken stock cubes)
Dried Italian herbs
Note that you can substitute or take out any of the vegetables!
Equipment
1 large soup pot
Preparation
Step 1
Place the chicken in the pot and fill it with about 3 litres of water. Boil.
Step 2
While the chicken is boiling, cut your vegetables starting with the ones that take a bit longer to boil: carrots, potatoes and daikon.
Note: make sure to cut your carrots, potatoes and daikon to roughly the same size so that they cook evenly and at the same time!
Step 3
Once the chicken looks cooked on the outside, add your carrots, potatoes and daikon to boil in the pot. About 5-10 minutes.
Step 4
Cut your remaining vegetables.
I recommend cutting the white cabbage into small cubes and the napa cabbage into thin strips. The enoki mushrooms only need to have the bottoms cut off and the shiitake mushrooms just need their stems removed.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and place it into a small bowl. Add the remaining vegetables into the pot and stir to incorporate.
Check the potatoes are cooked by running a fork through them. If they go though with minimal difficulty, they are cooked.
Step 6
Lower the heat and add 2 cubes of consomme and salt and white pepper to taste. Add a sprinkle of italian herbs.
Step 7
Once the chicken has been left for about 10 minutes, shred the chicken using two forks.
Step 8
Take the pot off the heat and add the shredded chicken back into the pot. Stir.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy!
