Stay well & take care please.
I made a batch of this soup and it’s great! I added a zucchini and used skinless thighs with bone in which I cooked for 45 minutes using the stove method.
This soup soo delicious I did make some minor adaptations such as used zucchini instead of silver beet. ?
sounds delicious!
Made this soup as per recipe with my home-grown ginger, parsley & silverbeet . Was delicious & received hubby’s approval also
Thats great to hear! A squeeze of your delicious home grown lemons would go nicely too!
I’ve made this regularly. I live it sprinkled with ground Sweet Paprika and cracked pepper . Very yum and warming
So good! But I made the broth from scratch with a whole chicken because I was making it for a sick person
