Hot & Sour Chicken Soup

Hot & Sour is the only soup which I order all time...We will go to a near by restaurant often and I will order this soup along with crispy fish fingers..Hmmm...This taste so awesome..

I love adding egg and chicken in this soup..I love the taste of it..But if you wish you could make it entirely vegetarian..Skip the chicken and egg part in this recipe and add lots of vegetables...

I made this a while before and served it with some crispy chicken croquettes(remember the recipe)..This was our dinner that day..It rained heavily that day and soup with fried chicken croquettes made us so comforting and cozy..

So with no more delay..I am giving you the step by step recipe with pictures..

Ingrediants:

Chicken-1/2 kg
Carrot – ½ cup shredded
Cabbage – ½ cup shredded
Egg-1
Tomato Ketchup – 1 tblspn or to taste
Soy Sauce – 1 tblspn or to taste
Vinegar – 1 tsp or to taste
Red Chilli Paste – 1 tsp or to taste
Ginger Garlic Paste-1 tsp
Salt to taste
Sugar-1 tsp
Pepper to taste
Cornflour-1 tblspn mixed with some cold water
Butter -1 tblspn
Cilantro – as needed

Method:

Take some water in a sauce pan and bring that to boil..Add in the chicken and cook until it is cooked all the way through..Remove that and allow it to cool down..Chop it finely and set aside.

Now drain the stock through a fine sieve and take it in a bowl..Add red chilli paste, soy sauce, vinegar, tomato ketchup in this stock and mix well.Set this aside for a moment.

Now melt some butter in a sauce pan..Add in ginger garlic paste and fry for 1 min.

Add in carrot and cabbage and mix well..Cook this for 5 mins.

Pour the stock over the veggies and mix well.

Season with salt and sugar and mix well..

Now add in the chicken pieces and mix well..Simmer this for 10 mins..

Add in the cornflour slurry slowly in this and keep mixing until the soup thickens..

Drizzle in one beaten egg and mix well..Off the flame immediately..

Garnish with fresh cilantro and mix well.

Serve hot..
