Soba noodle soup
Soba is Japanese noodles. This soup I made is chicken soup with a few noodle strands floating in the broth. If you cook the noodles along with the chicken and carrot, it will absorb the broth.
Talking about soba and Japan, there is an excellent book called Ikigai, which is the Japanese secret to a fulfilling life. I remember enjoying it.
Ingredients for the soup are
Soba noodles - a few
Chicken breasts - 2, cubed
Carrot - 2, peeled and cubed
Salt - to taste
Pepper - 1 tsp
Water - 4 cups
Olive oil - 1 tsp
Ginger - 1/2 inch, peeled and thinly chopped
Garlic - 4 pods, peeled and thinly chopped
Boil noodles in water till it swells up and becomes soft. Strain and keep aside.
Clean chicken and cook in pressure cooker for 3 whistles. Open lid of cooker, add 3 cups of water, carrot, salt and pepper. Cook on slow flame, 15 to 20 minutes without lid.
In a saucepan, add olive oil. When it becomes warm, add ginger and garlic. Stir, 5 minutes.
Add sauteed ginger and garlic into the cooker which has the other ingredients. Add cooked noodles too. Continue to cook on slow flame for another five minutes.
Serve hot with breadcrumbs.
