Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

  • 250 g chicken (preferably bone-in for maximum flavour)

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

  • 1 tomato, chopped (optional)

  • 1 small carrot, chopped

  • 6–7 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1-inch ginger, crushed

  • 1 green chilly (optional)

  • ½ tsp turmeric powder

  • ½ tsp crushed black pepper

  • Salt to taste

  • 1 tbsp oil or butter

  • 3–4 cups water

  • Fresh coriander or spring onion for garnish

How to Make Chicken Soup (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Heat oil or butter in a pot. Add crushed ginger, garlic, and green chilli. Sauté until aromatic.
Next, add the chopped onions and sauté till they turn soft and translucent.
(Optional) Add the tomato and cook until it becomes mushy.

Step 2: Add Chicken & Spices

Add the chicken pieces into the pot.
Sprinkle turmeric, crushed black pepper, and salt.
Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the chicken turns white and releases flavour.

Step 3: Add Veggies & Water

Add the chopped carrot (you can also add beans or sweet corn).
Pour in 3–4 cups of water.
Mix well and bring it to a boil.

Step 4: Simmer Slowly

Cover the pot and cook on low flame:

  • Bone-in chicken: 25–30 minutes

  • Boneless chicken: 15–20 minutes
    The soup will turn cloudy, aromatic, and full of flavour.

Step 5: Shred the Chicken

Remove the cooked chicken pieces, shred them with a fork, and add back into the soup.
Adjust salt and pepper based on taste.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve Hot

Finish with chopped coriander or spring onion.
Enjoy your warm, winter-perfect bowl of homemade chicken soup!

Tips for the Perfect Winter Chicken Soup

  • Bone-in chicken gives richer, deeper flavour.

  • Add a splash of lemon juice before serving for a fresh kick.

  • If you want it spicy, increase the black pepper—perfect for cold and flu.

  • For a thicker soup, mix 1 tsp cornflour with water and stir in at the end.
