Chinese Chicken and Mushroom Soup:
Chicken and mushrooms have been a terrific combo for many recipes.
Chicken mince is a lean source of protein, and mushrooms add an earthy flavor to the soup. The finely chopped coriander balances the flavors with a touch of freshness.
Ingredients for this ground chicken soup:
- Ground Chicken: Ground chicken is an ideal lean meat choice with a mild flavor that is widely accepted, particularly by the elderly and children.
- Mushroom: Fresh mushrooms complement chicken beautifully, but you can also experiment with different types of mushrooms for added variety.
- Egg: Eggs are optional, you can prepare them to your preference. You can also fry eggs and use them as a soup topping.
- White Pepper Powder: White pepper powder is a common choice in Asian cuisine due to its mild flavor, but black pepper powder can be used as a suitable alternative in this recipe.
How to cook this chicken mushroom soup:
1, Cook the ground chicken:
In a saucepan, add oil and chicken mince, and cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is cooked through. About 5-7 minutes.
2, Cook the soup:
To cook the soup, simply add the chopped mushrooms, 4 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring. Once simmering, cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for approximately 20 minutes.
3, Thickening the soup:
Dissolve corn flour in 1/3 cup of water and slowly incorporate it into the soup. If desired, you can also add eggs at this stage.
4, Seasoning and serve:

Recipe Notes:
- Thickening Agent: If you prefer a thicker soup, you can increase the amount of corn flour-water mixture gradually until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Garnish Options: Get creative with your soup toppings. Try spring onions, crunchy peanuts, or a drizzle of chili oil for added flavor and texture.
- Storage: Consider making a larger batch and freezing it in smaller portions for convenient meal prep on busy days.
