Cream of chicken

Ingredients:

For the broth

200 gm of bony chicken pieces

100 gm of boneless chicken

2 medium sized carrots, cut in chunks

1 1/2 cup shredded cabbage

1 stalk of celery

2 onions, cut in chunks

10-12 garlic cloves

1/2 inch piece of ginger

1 tablespoon vinegar

1 tsp salt

8-10 pepper cons

2 litres of water

 

For the soup

3 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoon all purpose flour*

1/2 carton cream

Ground pepper for garnish

 

Method:

Start with a large thick bottomed container and add all the stock ingredients to it.

You may choose to steam the boneless pieces seperately and add them to the soup or add them in the stock itself. Only main difference will be the colour.. the colour of the chicken from the broth won't be as white.

Allow the stock to come to a boil on medium high flame. Now reduce the flame to slow, cover and allow it simmer until the stock reduces to half. Allow it to cool down and

Strain the broth.

Seperate the chicken pieces and discard the remaining.

Your base stock is ready. This stock by itself is very nutritious and can be given to all kids of all age groups (6 months plus)

For making the soup, heat the butter in a pan and add the flour. Stir constantly on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Now add just half a cup of the broth and stir so there are no balls of flour formed. Now add the remaining broth along with the chicken pieces and bring to a boil. Add salt and cream and stir gently. Allow to simmer on medium flame for 2 more minutes.. give it a quick stir to check to consistency. If you find the soup to be runny for your liking, allow it to simmer for a little longer.

Ensure not to boil the soup once the cream is added.

For a healthier version of this soup, replace the all purpose flour with finely ground oats powder.
