Weekend Menu #24: My favourite soup

I have been addicted to soups since I met my husband 10 years ago. Being a Foochow, he grows up drinking tonic and health soups. So whether I want or not, I learnt to take soups and end up, I am loving them. However I still not acquire to Patin soup (black soup) because I still cannot stand the smell and taste. I will fall sick immediately after taking this Pa Tin soup.


I mostly cook chicken soup because #1 I love eating chicken; #2 easier to prepare than pork.


And one of my favourite chicken soups is this mushroom chicken soup.




I will usually buy the thigh and drumstick parts as hubby and myself love to eat those parts. Most of the times I will get the butcher to remove the skin and chop into smaller pieces so save my times in the kitchen.

Just add in chicken meats, sliced shiitake mushroom, sliced gingers and few garlic bulbs into boiling water and cook for about 2 hours, you will have a great chicken soup to enjoy with your bowl of rice.

If hubby, he will just scoop his rice into the bowl of soup and enjoy in front of tv. *wink*



So, what is your favourite soup??

Oh, I love Patin soup although it is quite 'heaty' and some ppl tend to fall sick after taking it.

Normally I try to reduce the ingredients of Patin so that the smell and taste is not that obvious :)
