This is a very comforting soup that soothes a sore throat and warms the heart. I crave it often! Serve with buttered rice on the side.
Ingredients
* 4 cups chicken soup (homemade is best, but you can also use canned)
* Extra veggies (onions, carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes) as disired
* 1 garlic clove, chopped
* 4 slices fresh ginger
* 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes, or real hot pepper
* 2 tbsp cornstarch
* 1 tbsp vinegar
* 1 egg (optional)
* salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Heat up your chicken soup.
2. Add garlic, ginger, hot pepper.
3. Simmer chicken soup with the lid on for 15 minutes.
4. Dissolve cornstarch in a little water and stir into soup.
5. Add vinegar.
6. Simmer at least 5 minutes more with lid on.
7. If using egg, beat lightly in a bowl, then beat into soup. Cook a few more minutes.
8. Serve with a side of buttered rice.
