Watercress & Chicken Soup

Another soup experiment. I absolutely find it much easier to make these dishes especially when I have to be back late or might be away. At least, my little one is fed and has a decent meal. That's all that matters for me.

So, another soup it is then. Do not underestimate the watercress veg. It has numerous benefits and I guess that's why most Chinese continuously have this in their soup menu. It helps prevent cancer, it's high on antioxidant, high on vitamin A and C and helps with overall wellbeing. And the best part of it is that I never add salt or pepper in my soups that I boil as it best taken as natural as possible.

Well, I loved it and so did Caitlin.



Ingredients:-


- 3 large bowls of water.

- 500g chopped chicken

- 2 carrots cut into cubes

- 1 bunch of watercress vege

- 1 palm full of Chinese almonds 

- 2 dried Honey Dates (different from those dried chinese red dates)


1. Boil water 

2. Once water is boiling, put in all the ingredients.

3. Boil for about 10 minutes at high fire. Then, transfer to slow cooker and boil under Auto throughout the day.

4. Serve with warm rice.


It's good for lunch and dinner served with warm rice. Sometimes, for my little girl, I'll just fry an egg to go with her rice and that's just one healthy meal for her.
