We are freezing here in Kuwait! We craved for hot soup and hot tea or hot chocolate every night and that was the main reason why I made this soup last night.
Ingredients:
1 chicken breast,skinned and diced very thinly
1 medium onion, minced
2 cloves garlic,crushed then minced
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 thick cream
5 cups chicken broth
1 small sachet of chicken soup powder
1 tsp. chopped dried parsley
1 tbsp. corn flour dissolved in a little amount of water
salt and pepper to taste
Few mint leaves/sprigs for garnish
Directions:
1. Heat butter in a pot, brown chicken breast for 2 minutes then add garlic and onion, stir until transparent. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Add chicken broth and chicken soup powder. Stir to blend well. Let it boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and dried parsley, cook for 2 minutes.
4. Turn off the heat. Stir in the thick cream, mix well.
5. Turn on the heat again and simmer for 3 minutes.
6. Transfer to a soup bowl and garnish with mint leaves. Serve while hot.
Tips: Add more mint leaves and it will refreshen your throat especially when you have colds due to the cold climate!
