A warm and comforting soup packed with nutrients from chicken and vegetables, perfect for family dinners or meal prep.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 whole whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 1 large daikon radish, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4-5 dates, pitted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the chicken pieces. Boil for a few minutes, then drain and rinse the chicken to remove any impurities.
Making the Broth
- Return the chicken to the pot and add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Adding Vegetables
- Add the radish, mushrooms, onion, dates, and garlic to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Seasoning and Serving
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions before serving.
- Serve hot in bowls. This soup goes well with crusty bread or steamed rice on the side.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in the pot before adding the broth. You can swap out the daikon radish for other types of radishes if you prefer a different taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container; it keeps well for 3-4 days in the refrigerator and up to 3 months in the freezer.
