Chicken Soup

Ingredients

Basic
Chicken, approximately 200 gram
Water, about 2 glasses (or atleast sufficient to make 2-3 bowls of soup)
Onion, cut into 4 pieces
Ginger/ Garlic (fresh is best, else you can use store-bought paste)
Peppercorn
Salt to taste
Garam masala (optional)

Optional
You can also add some finely diced veggies like carrots, beans, capsicum, sweet corn etc. You will need some butter and chopped garlic to saute these.

Garnish
Lemon juice
Spring onions

Method

1. Add all the basic ingredients to the pressure cooker and wait for one whistle. Reduce heat and let it cook for 10-15 minutes or till the chicken is done. 
2. Let it cool, then strain. 
3. Shred a few pieces of chicken to add to the soup.
4. Heat the soup. 
5. At this point, you can add the optional veggies, sauted in butter and garlic till cooked, but crunchy.
6.  Garnish with spring onions, add lemon juice, and serve hot. You can enjoy it as a starter, or have it with buttered toast for dinner :)

Tip: I usually reserve the remaining cooked chicken to add to pastas, noodles, sandwiches etc.
