Chicken and Vegetable Soup.

I am Anuradha Bose. Food is a matter of passion for me. But I am not a chef. I just love to cook and bake. And I come from a long line of women , for whom the kitchen is the heart of the home .

My elder daughter is down with a severe cough and cold. This is also one of the things that comes along with the vibrant colors and festive food during fall. 

And apart from a lot of compassion , love and understanding, one definitely feels better in the company of a piping hot bowl of soup. 

This soup is my daughter's favorite.

Ingredients:
( Serves 4)

1/2 of a large onion chopped

1 large clove of garlic minced

3 tablespoons  olive oil

2 teaspoons black pepper powder

1 large carrot cubed

1/2 cup corn kernels

1/3 cup green peas

1.5 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs diced

4 and 3/4 cups of chicken stock

2 hand fulls of fresh spinach leaves

Salt according to taste.( you will be adding chicken stock which will have salt in it. So be careful with the salt)

  Heat the oil over medium heat and add the 

onions , a bit of salt and pepper powder.

Saute it for a couple of minutes.

Then add the carrots a pinch of salt and saute for another couple of minutes.

Time to add the chicken, another pinch of salt and the garlic. Now saute for another 3 - 4 minutes.

Add the chicken stock and stir well.

when it comes to a boil, lower the heat, put a cover on top and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes add the peas and corn, stir well and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Time to add the spinach. Stir it well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

Its time to serve.

The secret ingredient for any dish is always love. No need to measure it. The more you add, the better it will taste.
