Ingredients of Homemade Chicken Soup

• Chicken Breast; I have prepared this soup using chicken breasts. While there is no “wrong” chicken for chicken soup. Feel free to use any part of the chicken
• Vegetables I use are Potato (cubed), Carrot, and Cabbage; Well, to be honest, you can use any veggies you want since every country has its own version of chicken soup. As such, each version will look and taste a little different from the next. The most common vegetables, however, include a mixture of onion, celery, and tomato.
• Celery and Tomato as a garnish you will cook these at nearly the end. I like to use celery because the color sort of blends into the soup, Plus, celery is a classic flavor base for many savory things. While tomato adding  Little chewy pops of concentrated savoury tomato flavour keeps it lovely bright stand out.
• Salt; Salt is an essential seasoning that enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients.
• White Pepper; To make this chicken soup mild and homey-feeling yet safe for sick or sensitive people, I use white pepper instead of black pepper
• Nutmeg Powder; Nutmeg adds a warm and slightly nutty aroma to your chicken soup.
• Garlic and Shallot Paste; Truly the best when you’re sick. Garlic is full of anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Water; If you want a richer bold taste, I recommend you to use chicken broth because it makes the soup nice and rich. However, because I wanted this chicken soup “clean and light” I used water
• Fried Shallot; Use as garnish topped above chicken soup  Fried shallots add a final touch of texture, flavor, and visual appeal to your soup. Plus, it provides a crispy contrast to the softness of the other ingredients
