- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- _____
- FOR THE SOUP:
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- ½ whole Onion, Diced
- 1 whole Tomato, Very Thinly Sliced
- 1 whole Carrot, Diced
- 4 whole Potatoes, Cubed
- 1 pound, 1-⅔ ounces, weight Mushrooms, Chopped
- 1 whole Yellow Capsicum (Pepper)
- 3 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 teaspoons Cumin Powder
- ½ teaspoons Turmeric Powder
- 8 cups Water
Preparation
Marinating minced chicken:
Place the minced chicken in a large bowl. Add remaining meatball ingredients and mix thoroughly. Seal and keep in the refrigerator so the seasonings will set. It takes approximately 1-2 hours.
Cooking instructions:
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of the seasoned chicken meat into the pot. Stir-fry it well so that the chicken becomes small pieces. This adds flavour to the soup base.
Add onions. Fry till it becomes soft. Then add the tomato (very thinly sliced) and fry till it becomes mushy. Throw in the diced carrot, potatoes, mushrooms, capsicum, salt, pepper, cumin, and turmeric powder. Stir-fry for 10 minutes. Add water. Bring it to a boil.
While the soup is boiling, make chicken balls. Tip: wet your palms with water because it prevents the meat from sticking to your palms.
Slowly, drop the chicken meatballs into the soup. Please remember not to stir it at this moment. Let it boil for 5 minutes. Then, stir it well.
Simmer for 45 minutes.

Cumin! Oh, you said the magic word, and your gorgeous photo sucked me right in. I’m always on the lookout for new soups, which I freeze and bring in for lunch every day, so I’m on this like a cheap suit.
