Ingredients

For the Soup

  • 1 cup boneless chicken, finely shredded
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 small carrot, finely chopped
  • ½ cup cabbage, finely shredded
  • ¼ cup sweet corn
  • ¼ cup green peas
  • 2 tablespoons spring onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoons cornflour
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

For Serving

  • Chopped spring onions
  • A little black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, if desired

How to Make 19B Soup

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Place the chicken in a saucepan with enough water to cover it. Cook until tender. Remove the chicken, allow it to cool slightly, and shred it into small pieces.

Reserve the cooking liquid if you are using it as part of the soup stock.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped carrots, cabbage, sweet corn, peas, and spring onions.

Cook for 2–3 minutes while stirring gently. The vegetables should remain slightly crisp rather than becoming too soft.

Step 3: Add the Stock and Chicken

Pour in the chicken stock and add the shredded chicken. Stir well and bring the soup to a gentle boil.

Add the soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Let the soup simmer for about 5–7 minutes so the flavors can combine.

Step 4: Thicken the Soup

In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with cold water until completely smooth.

Slowly pour the mixture into the simmering soup while stirring continuously. Continue cooking for 1–2 minutes, or until the soup reaches your preferred consistency.

Step 5: Add the Egg

Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the hot soup while stirring gently in one direction. This will create delicate egg ribbons throughout the soup.

Cook for another minute and turn off the heat.

Serving Suggestions

Serve 19B Soup hot in individual bowls. Garnish with chopped spring onions and a sprinkle of black pepper.

For extra flavor, you can serve it with:

  • Toasted bread
  • Crackers
  • Homemade croutons
  • Lemon wedges

Tips for the Best 19B Soup

  • Do not overcook the vegetables: Keeping them slightly crisp gives the soup a pleasant texture.
  • Add cornflour gradually: This makes it easier to control the thickness.
  • Use cold water for cornflour: Mixing cornflour with cold water helps prevent lumps.
  • Adjust the seasoning: Taste the soup before serving and add salt, pepper, soy sauce, or vinegar according to your preference.
  • For a thicker soup: Add a little more cornflour slurry.
  • For a lighter soup: Reduce the amount of cornflour and use a little extra stock.
