Chicken Soup

Chicken Soup is light and refreshing.  This time around, I am adding red carrot, fresh water chestnuts, corn and  dried lotus seeds.  This bowl of soup is 'Simple Yet Yummylicious!'

Ingredients: (serves 2)

2 chicken drumsticks (cleaned and remove excess fat)

1 chicken thighs (cleaned and remove excess fat)

1 corn (peeled and cut into thick sections)

6 fresh water chestnuts (peeled and leave whole)

1 large carrot (peeled and cut into chunks)

1/4 cup dried lotus seeds (washed, soaked, drained and remove bitter core/germ)

Water

Chicken stock granules (for seasoning - to taste)

Methods:

1. Blanch the chicken with hot water, drain and transfer into a pot with simmering water.
2. Add in corn, carrot, water chestnuts and lotus seeds.  Bring it to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until everything is cooked.
4. Season with chicken stock granules.
5. Serve warm.
