Speedy Hot & Sour Chicken Soup (Woolies)
A one-pot budget-friendly chicken soup with mushrooms, chilli and lime.
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 Tab vegetable oil
500g chicken mince
200g sliced white cup mushrooms
1 carrot, halved lengthways, thinly sliced diagonally
1L salt-reduced chicken stock
1 Tab salt-reduced soy sauce
1 Tab caster sugar
1 long red chilli, thinly sliced
1 bunch choy sum, trimmed, roughly chopped
3 limes, juiced (save 1 lime, cut into wedges, to serve)
1/4 bunch coriander, leaves picked
2 Tab unsalted peanuts, finely chopped
Step 1
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes – or until lightly browned and cooked through.
Step 2
Add mushroom, carrot, stock, soy, sugar & half of the chilli, then bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium & simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes to allow flavours to infuse.
Add choy sum, then simmer for 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in lime juice.
Step 3
Ladle soup into bowls. Top with coriander, peanuts & remaining chilli. Serve with extra lime wedges.
