Spicy Chicken Soup


A warm, spicy, cozy soup on a cold, wintery evening is what most of us would dream of. My father- in- law likes different varieties of soups. In this cold weather, I made one of his favorite spicy chicken soup and here it is now on my blog.


This chicken soup is a hearty, comforting soup that's so easy and simple to make which only take few minutes. In this, I have added roasted corn which is optional. You can add boiled corn and any of your favorite veggies. When all the spices are added together, the flavors are very well blended with each other which gives a distinctive taste and enhances your taste buds. The spiciness can be adjusted to suit your taste. I have made different varieties of soups before, but this one is more Indian with the addition of spices. Hope you all might like this. Try this out and let me know.


Ingredients:
  1. Boneless Chicken pieces- 1 Cup
  2. Roasted Corn- 1/2 Cup
  3. Water- 3 Cups
  4. Pepper powder- 1 tbsp
  5. Salt- as required

  7. Grated Ginger- 1 tbsp
  8. Grated Garlic- 1 tbsp
  9. Coriander Powder- 1 Tsp
  10. Freshly Chopped Cilantro- 2 tbsp

Method:
  1. In a large pot, add all the ingredients except chopped cilantro, stir and boil on a medium flame.
  2. After about 4- 5 minutes of rolling boil, simmer the flame and let this cook for another 5 minutes till all the ingredients get well blended with each other.. Switch off the flame.
  3. Add the chopped cilantro leaves and soy sauce. Adjust the salt and pepper powder according to your taste levels. Enjoy a warm, spicy soup on a cold evening.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
