Let me start by saying “This is another Simple Nyonya Dish!” Since I need to put food on the dining table by 9.30am every weekday, I will always cook something simple and most importantly, my children will eat them.

The Ingredients:
1/3 Chicken
3 Potatoes
1 Stick of Carrot
4 Garlic
4 Shallots
A few slices of Ginger
1/2 Tbsp Mince Bean Paste (Taucu)
Water
Oil
and Salt to taste

How to Cook Nyonya Style Chicken and Potato Soup:
1. Pound the Garlic and Shallots.
2. Fry the pounded Garlic and Shallots then add in the Taucu and sliced Ginger. Fry till the aroma.
3. Add in one big bowl of water for the soup.
4. Throw in the Chicken, Potato and Carrot then add a dash of Salt.
5. Cover your pot.
6. Cook till the Potatoes and Carrots turn soft.

You are done! Easy right?

If you have guess coming for dinner, be sure to place the Nyonya Style Chicken and Potato soup in one of your beautiful dinnerware sets. If you have the Pfaltzgraff drinkware; use it when serving your guess, no point keeping them to collect dust.

Bon Appetit!
