Recipe: Chicken & Pasta Soup
Here’s a recipe for this tasty, finger-licking pasta soup
Ingredients
– Pasta
– Chicken
– Vegetables such as Onion, Cabbage, Carrot, Garlic, tomato
– Mushrooms
– Seasoning
Method
Step 1
– Season 1/2 kilo of chicken breast, cut it up into large pieces, then set aside to allow it to properly season
– Put seasoned chicken alone in hot pan and allow to heat up for 2 minutes
– Then add 2-3 cups of water and allow chicken to boil.
Step 2
Add the following ingredients to the pot with the boiling chicken:
– 1 medium sized onion
– 2 tomatoes,
– Quarter of a small cabbage,
– 2 or 3 carrots that have been washed and the back scraped off (Reserve a little carrot for garnishing at the end)
Allow the mixture to boil until chicken is cooked/tender: This is usually for about 30- 45 minutes.
N.B: it is important to adjust the heat so that the heat the mixture is boiling at doesn’t cause the water to dry up.
Step 3
– Remove chicken into a separate bowl and debone it. then cut it up into smaller pieces
– Remove the remaining ingredients and blend them until smooth.
– Pass blended ingredients through a sieve and add water to allow it to properly drain through.
Step 4
– Put the mixture back on the fire
– Let it boil
– Adjust taste of blended vegetables with salt and seasoning: you can use any seasoning or spice of your choice. (For ours, we used leafy spices such as cilantro, parsley, mint, celery and we also added 1 tablespoon of olive oil.)
– Add pasta and allow to boil
– Add chicken flesh to blended mixture
– Then reduce heat to allow to simmer
– Allow to simmer for 30 – 40 minutes
– Add carrot and mushroom
– Then leave to boil for 5 minutes
THE END!
