Chicken Soup with Radish and Shiitake Mushrooms

Another simple soup to cook and enjoy under such unpredictable weather.  It can be bright, sunny and extremely hot in the morning and drastic change in the afternoon or evening; with strong wind, lightning, thunder, follows by rain, but at times it will just clear off...


Ingredients:

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

1 radish (peeled and cut into chunks)

5 dried shiitake mushrooms (washed, soaked, drained and halved)

Chicken stock granules (for seasoning)


Methods:

  1. Fill the inner pot of a Cosway Magic Cooker with water 3/4 full.
  2. Bring the water to a boil.  Place the chicken pieces into a large bowl.  Once boiled pour the boiling water over the chicken to blanch the chicken pieces to get rid of excess oil and impurities.  Drained and set aside.
  3. Reheat the pot with leftover water, then add in radish, dried shiitake mushrooms and the chicken.  Once it comes to a boil, remove from heat and place the pot into the magic cooker, cover and let it continue to cook. (This thermal insulated pot retains heat up to 8 hours, saving energy and cooking time).
  4. Just before serving, remove the inner pot and season with chicken stock granules.  Taste for correct seasoning and serve!
