Tasty Chicken Soup

I have been wanting to cook this tasty and nutritious soup, which I have it saved in my to-cook list many months ago.  Since the Mid Autumn Festival or commonly known as Moon Cake Festival is just round the corner, so this is the best One-Pot Dish to go for.  The usual Chinese saying, a meal isn't complete without soup!

Ingredients: (serves 2)

2 whole chicken legs (cleaned, blanched in hot water to get rid of impurities, and drained)

1 piece fish maw (soaked and cut into bite size pieces)

4 pieces red dates

8 pieces dried scallop (small/medium - washed)

4 pieces dried shiitake mushrooms (washed and soaked)

1/2 tablespoon goji berry (washed)

A handful of dried cordyceps flower (washed and soaked)

1 can abalone (just use the abalone only)

Chicken stock granules (to taste)

Enough water for cooking

Methods:

1. Place chicken, red dates, scallop, shiitake mushrooms, cordyceps flower and enough water into a pot, and medium boil for about 30 minutes.
2. Add in the fish maw and let it cook for 10 minutes.
3. Lastly, add in goji berries and abalone and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Taste for correct seasoning, and add chicken stock granules if needed.
5. Switch off heat and serve into individual bowls.  Enjoy while the soup is still hot.

Since it is Mid Autumn Festival, I served this delicious soup over Mee Suah; and with a simple side dish of pickled cucumbers and our must-have chilis with dark soy sauce and lime juice.

For infor, this is a very late post ~ smile ~

I adapted this recipe from 'Tasty Heritage Signature' with slight adjustment to suit my cooking preference.
