When I first moved to London I was suffering a bad cold as I househunted and was staying with my good friends Andrew & Jenny. Andrew made me this “cure” and I’ve sworn by it ever since. This time I made it with “K.I.S Chicken stock [KEEP IT SIMPLE]” from a Cookpad Cook “Phil”.

Steps

1

Add 2 tbsp of oil into a heated stock pot on medium-high heat. Add the onions first and let them cook for a couple of minutes until they start getting a bit clear. Add the carrots, ginger and celery and cook for another 6-8 minutes.
2

Spread them off to the side of the pot and add a bit more oil. Place the chicken skin side down and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 4 minutes.
3

At this point, get the water/stock ready by bringing to the boil. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the stock over, bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer (covered) for 15-20 minutes. Add the turmeric as you start the simmering process. Toss in more ginger if you want a stronger ginger flavour
4

Take the chicken out after the soup is done simmering, shred it up and toss it back in the soup. Salt & pepper to taste. Enjoy! I’m gonna try freezing it this time.
