Chicken Corn Soup

 


















Very easy healthy soup, contains no artificial ingredients.

Ingredients
Serves 2 people
  • Chicken pieces, preferably with a lot of bones in it, I used the leg pieces: 250 gms. If this is the main meal, then make it 500 gms and double all quantities.
  • A big handful of sweet corn, or more, as you wish
  • 6 – 7 big cloves of garlic (mildly crushed)
  • A big piece of ginger (crushed)
  • A few pepper corns coarsely crushed – you can always add more pepper later if you want
  • Two tablespoons of cornflour, for thickening
  • Salt, 1 teaspoon
For garnishing
  • Some lemon juice/soya sauce
  • Chopped coriander leaves/spring onions
Procedure
  1. Boil the chicken pieces, corn, garlic, ginger, and pepper, with salt, and a lot of water (enough to submerge the chicken completely), in a pressure cooker. For 2 cups of soup, pour at least 3 cups of water. Keep for 4-5 whistles.
  2. When cool, shred the chicken pieces and throw away the bones and any big pieces of ginger.
  3. Dissolve two tablespoons of cornflour in some water. Add it to the soup and bring to a boil until the watery soup becomes slightly thick. Taste and add additional salt or crushed pepper as needed.
  4. When serving into the bowls, garnish with some chopped coriander leaves and a bit of lime juice, just half a spoon/a few drops. The original recipes I saw had spring onion and soya sauce instead, I did not have them. This came out really well anyways. :) 

Lemon Cake




















Super easy, and comes out well every time. :)  When you pour the lemon juice in the end, make sure you spread it evenly.  In centigrade, it's 160 degrees C.
