Ingredients
- Butter – 1½ tbsp
- Bayleaf – 1no
- Peppercorn – 5-6nos
- Garlic chopped – 2tsp
- Onion chopped – ¼ cup
- Maida – 1½ tbsp
- Chicken (with bone) – ½no (400gms)
- Thyme – a sprig
- Salt – to taste
- Water – 1.25 lit
- Spring onions chopped – handful
- Cream (optional) – 2 tbsp
Instructions
- In a pressure cooker, add some butter, bay leaf, a few peppercorns and toast it. Add chopped garlic and onion and sauté it for a few minutes. To the aromata, add some Maida that will help thicken the soup and toast it tills it stops smelling raw. To the golden-brown mixture, add the chicken along with fresh thyme (you can replace thyme with a herb of your choice). Pour in a little water to avoid it from burning along with some salt
- After sautéing the chicken for about 5 minutes, add water to cover the chicken and put on the lid of the pressure cooker. After the 1st whistle, set the flame to low and cook it for another 5-10 minutes or till it’s falling-off-the-bone tender.
- Once the soup is done, strain the soup into a pan and pull out the pieces of the chicken to shred and add back into the soup. Heat up the soup in the pan, add some spring onions and dollop of fresh cream (optional) – and voila! You have a hearty chicken soup ready for your soul
