Chicken Soup For the ...

Well, this one's for the upset stomach. Bahaar's been ill for the last week with a stomach infection, and she's had this soup a couple of times this week. She's actually liked it ! I used a pressure cooker to make it. However if you don't have one, I guess you can cook the chicken in the saucepan until its really tender (practically falls off the bone). I used drumsticks to make it. But you can use other pieces that are high in 'gelatinous'  material as well.

1 Chicken Drumstick skin removed

1/2 Cup frozen diced carrots

1/4 Cup frozen peas

1/2 tsp ground ginger garlic paste

Salt to taste

Put all the above items in a pressure cooker with 2-3 cups of water and close the lid. Let the cooker "give off steam" 3-4 times. If you have another kind of pressure cooker, just cook the chicken according to the manufacturer's instructions that would leave the chicken completely tender. 

Allow to cool and open the lid. Take the drumstick out and shred the chicken into tiny shreds and add that into the broth. Serve warm.

You can substitute the ground ginger garlic paste for only ginger paste or only garlic paste as well. Ginger helps in digestion and garlic helps kill internal infections of the digestive system.
