Green Radish and Carrot Chicken Soup

This is another great Chicken Soup which I tried out from an online recipe by 'Janet's Home Cooking.'  Thumbs Up!  It's Simple Yet Yummylicious!

Ingredients:

2 whole chicken legs (cleaned and cut into thighs and drumsticks) 

1 green radish (peeled and cut into round pieces)

1 carrot (peeled and cut into round pieces)

2 ginger slices

6 pieces dried red dates

Dried longan (about 1 tablespoon)

Dried scallops (about 1 tablespoon)

Methods:

1. In a soup pot, add about 3/4 full of water, and let it boil using high heat.  Once the water boil, switch off heat.
2. In a large bowl place chicken and pour in the hot water (enough to cover the chicken pieces), and blanch the chicken to remove impurities and oil.  
3. Place the pot with remaining boiling water back to the heated stove, add green radish, carrot, ginger slices, red dates, longan and dried scallop.
4. Remove chicken from the blanching water and add it into the pot, cover the lid and let it boil.  
5. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and let it continue to slow boil until all the vegetables and the chicken are soft.
6. For seasoning, I taste the soup, then add a bit of chicken stock granules as needed.  This slow boil soup is so tasty and it doesn't need much seasoning.
7. Enjoy the soup warm or hot!
