Quail Egg Chicken Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
- 250 grams chicken, cut into pieces and washed
- 10 quail eggs
- 2 carrots, sliced into rounds
- Green onions and celery, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Chicken bouillon (or chicken stock powder), to taste
- 1 cm ginger, crushed and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
- 3 shallots, sliced
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Next, add the sliced shallots and continue to cook until they soften and become aromatic. Stir in the green onions and cook until they are just wilted. Remove the mixture from the pot and set aside.
-
Cook the Chicken: In the same pot, add the chicken pieces. Season with ground black pepper, sugar, and chicken bouillon to taste. Pour in enough water to cover the chicken and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
-
Add Vegetables and Eggs: Once the chicken is cooked, add the sliced carrots and pre-cooked quail eggs (which you can boil separately before adding). Allow the soup to simmer until the carrots are tender and the flavors meld together.
-
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or chicken bouillon if needed.
-
Finish the Soup: Just before serving, stir in the reserved green onion and celery mixture. Allow the soup to heat through, then remove from heat.
-
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with additional green onions and celery if desired. Accompany with crackers or crispy fried onions for added texture.
Enjoy this comforting and flavorful Quail Egg Chicken Soup, perfect for a cozy meal!
