Soup for the Soul


This blog will follow some bonding moments between my mom and my daughter ( all of 7 years 4 months) - brought together ( apart from their blood ties ) by the common love for cooking. My mom - a veteran in the kitchen and a super duper cook by any standard and my daughter - who has found a new place she loves in the house - the kitchen !!
I will post here all the recipes that they are making together in the next 2 weeks and are having a great time in the process.

They started today with the Soup For the Soul.

Ingredients

Chicken stock 5-6 cups
Garlic 2 tablespoons
Chicken mince 1 big bowl
Knorr chicken cube 1
Olive oil 1 spoon
Coriander leaves Chopped - 2 to 3 tablespoons
French Baguette 1 loaf
Eggs As many people
White pepper As per taste
Salt If required

How to Make

Boil 5-6 cups of stock on high flame. The stock should be light.
Throw in chicken mince balls ( spoon the mince into balls 5 mins prior to cooking ) and boil for 2 mins. Put in one Knorr Seasoning Cube. Boil for another 4-5 mins on medium flame.

In another pan, heat the olive oil. Put in 1 tablespoon freshly chopped garlic and saute lightly.
Put this mixture in the soup. Boil the soup for another 3-4 mins.

Now, cut the baguette pieces into 1 by 1 inch and keep aside. Make around 20-25 pieces ready.
(Rest of the baguette can be made into garlic bread...goes fabulously with the soup)

For Serving.
Break eggs into the simmering soup and stir ( you can put one for each person ). Simmer in low flame for 30 seconds. Now put in the baguette pieces. Follow immediately with the chopped coriander leaves. Serve immediately. Satisfy your soul : ))
