Chicken Wonton Soup

As i already said in my previous post, this soup is the ultimate Kill-your-cold-make-you-feel-like-you-can-conquer-the-world soup! One bowl of this beauty will have you out of your bed and dancing around in your room in no time!

For the Wontons follow the chicken dumplings recipe but fold the wrappers in the form of wontons or as shown in the picture.

The Broth:

Ingredients:

• 500 ml water
• A few Chicken bones or scraps 
• 1 celery stick (and a few leaves)
• 1 onion (peeled and cut in half)
• Half a carrot
• 2 mushrooms 
• Black peppercorns (to taste)
• Salt 
• 1 teaspoon dried lemongrass
• 5-6 cloves of garlic
• olive oil
• Spring onions for garnish

Method:

1. In a non-stick pan, brown the chicken bones/scraps with a little bit of olive oil.
2. Now, put all the ingredients together in a pressure cooker except the mushrooms and spring onions.
3. Let them cook on a medium heat for about 15 minutes, then cool the broth and strain it into a heavy based pan.
4. Put the pan on the stove, and add the mushrooms to this broth and bring it to boil.
5. Once that is done, switch off the gas and put a lid on the pan to let it rest for about 5-10 minutes.
6. Strain the broth again onto your wontons into your soup bowl and garnish with chopped mushrooms and spring onions and serve hot!
