Soup is an important dish of every meal. Just like salad, having a bowl of soup has a lot of health benefits as you get to eat more veggies packed with nutrients.

Eating nothing but soup for a meal can also
make one slimmer but it can be a difficult challenge. So, we usually team up the simple soup with
some chicken or prawns or just some meat slices to go with it…hence making it a
complete meal without the guilt factor !
Eating more soup makes you more energized and
feel full for hours.
Ingredients:
Handful of Flat Rice
Noodles
1.5 lt
chicken stock
100 gms
chicken (cubed)
1 chicken
breast (for the chicken fry)
1 egg (soft
boiled)
1 cup
broccoli
½ cup sweet
corn
1 cup
carrots (cubed)
1/2 cup aubergine
(sliced)
1 cup Pok
Choy (sliced)
½ cup Sweet
Basil (chopped)
Salt and
black pepper to taste
Method:
In a deep
vessel, boil the chicken pieces till they are tender. Add a pinch of salt and
pepper to this water while it is boiling since this gives flavor to the
chicken.
Next, add
the carrots and the chicken stock. Bring
to a boil. Let the soup boil till the
carrots have softened.
Add the
remaining veggies and the noodles at this stage. Again bring to a boil and then simmer till
the veggies are cooked. (This step should not take you more than 5-7 minutes
since all these veggies have almost the same cooking time.)
Add salt and
pepper to taste.
While the
soup is simmering, Season the Chicken Breast piece with salt, pepper and Harissa
paste. (I have used Harissa Paste to give a spicy punch to the chicken, you can
season the chicken with any paste of your choice) Fry the chicken in a
non-stick griller pan with a little bit of olive oil. Slice the chicken and keep aside.
Next is to
soft boil the egg. The trick is to first let the water boil, then gently
immerse the egg into the water and let it boil for 4 minutes. This ensures that the egg is soft and gooey
and oh…so yummy from the centre with a firmly set egg white.
Peel the egg
and carefully slice it into half just prior to serving the soup.
Plate the
chicken soup in a deep bowl with the grilled chicken pieces and the soft boiled
egg.
The ultimate
comfort food for the whole family to enjoy !
