  • 400 gm boneless chicken cubed into small paces
  • 25 gm butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 spring onions chopped separately
  • 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 tbsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1 cup vermicelli check notes
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 1 cube chicken stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Melt the butter and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and sizzle.
  • Add the white part of the spring onion to it and saute for a minute.
  • Add the carrots and cabbage and toss well.
  • Add the chicken along with the spice powders and give a good mix. Cook for around five minutes.
  • Add the vermicelli and toss well. Add around four cups of water, add the chicken stock cube. Allow the mixture to come to a boil.
  • Adjust seasoning and add the oats. Cook till the vegetables and chicken is all cooked, and the vermicelli is done.
  • Add the greens of the spring onion and switch off. Add crushed pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice, if you like. Serve hot.

Notes

As the soup sits, it tends to thicken.
Use 1/4 cup vermicelli, if you do not want too much of it in your soup.
You can replace the vermicelli with orzo pasta too.
You can add 2 tbsp soya sauce and a tbsp of chilli sauce for an extra zing.
