ABC Soup, or Chicken & Veggie Soup, is a nourishing Asian-style clear soup made with chicken, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and optional corn. It’s rich in vitamins A, B, and C, making it a wholesome comfort food for the whole family.

Ingredients

  • 500g chicken pieces (bone-in, like drumsticks or thighs)
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 onion, peeled and halved
  • 1 corn on the cob, cut into chunks (optional)
  • 6–8 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • Optional: 1 stalk celery, 2 dried red dates, or 1 tablespoon goji berries

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the chicken pieces for 2–3 minutes. Drain and rinse to remove impurities.
  2. In a clean pot, add the blanched chicken, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, and corn (if using).
  3. Pour in 6–8 cups of water to cover the ingredients.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered or partially covered for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  5. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
  6. Once the vegetables are tender and the broth is flavorful, serve the soup hot.

Notes

  • Add celery, dried red dates, or goji berries for extra sweetness and nutrition.
  • Use boneless chicken for a leaner, quicker version, though broth will be lighter.
  • Turn it into a meal by adding macaroni or rice.
  • Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months.
  • Stir and adjust seasoning when reheating, adding water if needed.
