Chicken Soup... Our whole lives people have touted this as the miracle cure to the common cold... Well, I am convinced this one is. It cures congestion, anyway... And why? Because it's awesomely spicy, of course!
To make the broth, I boiled a 1 pound package of chicken and removed the chicken from the water, then poured about 4 cups of water in a saucepan. You can also use packaged broth, but I've found this works better for this particular soup because I like to start without the salt.
Ingredients
4 cups broth or boiled chicken water
1/3-1/2 head of cabbage, chopped into small pieces
1-2 tbsp soy or Bragg sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp chili oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp sriracha sauce (hot pepper paste)
1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
1 tbsp dried or minced ginger
1/2 chicken breast, shredded
Optional : 1/4 tsp Szechuan peppercorns, ground
Directions
Boil the broth and cabbage together for 10-15 minutes.
Reduce heat and slowly stir in the seasonings one by one, tasting to decide if you like that quantity.
Keep in mind that each ingredient will make it a bit spicier so don't add too much of any one.
Add chicken, simmer for a few more minutes and serve.
Enjoy your clear sinuses!
Makes 2-3 servings, depending on how much you want...
