Looks Yummmm <3
Can I use chicken without skin?
Yes you can.
W/Salaam, the veggies are added to infuse their flavour and nutrients into the broth/soup. You can use them if you like, but normally the flavour will be already retained in the soup.
Is there a place I can buy your cook book
Hi, at the moment we do not have a cook book published yet, but soon inshaAllah.
Aslm alkm Fauzia, how much water should be used when mixing corn flour?Should it just be a little bit to make a thick paste?
thanks so much for sharing ur recipes with us, love your website :)
W/Salaam, thank you! Yes just a little bit of water to make a smooth paste. It doesn't have to be very very thick, as long as it is smooth and without lumps, it's good enough.
one more question, how many servings is this recipe?
thanks
Serves 4-5.
what effect does the potato have? i normally dont put it
It helps thicken the soup and make it even more tasty and filling.
WHAT IS PEPPER CORN??
Whole pepper.
Thz apa..i made it...its very nice
Slms fauzia why do we have to add the onion and carrot whilst boiling the chicken as we actually discard the veggies?can we not use these veggies.
ASSALAMMALAIKUM WA RAHMATHULLAH fauzia u have done n great job by publishing ur recipes starters r lucky n by the ways a lots of sawab for u MAY ALLAH BLESS U
Hii. I just visited ur website 2day n am loving it. Wil surely try ur recipies. Thx for sharing.
Hi Fauzia,
I just went through your website, and have found interesting recipies. Inshallah will try.
Thnx for sharing, God bless you.
W/salaam, thank you. It means the stems of the coriander/dhania. Don't just chop the leaves and discard the stems, add those too and they will increase the flavour in the soup.
Regular red onions.
Salam ,Fauzia great recipes,i have a question ,u mentioned corriander stick,what exactly that means?
jazakallah khairan for yummy recipes,u made my food more tastier,my hubby is very impressed,alhamdulilah.
Also the onion in the recipe is regular onion or the green one?
I'm inspired by your presentations. Keep me informed.
Hi, did you add cornflour? You can easily mix some more cornflour with a bit of water and boil it in the soup until it thickens slightly to your preference.
hi fauzia i made this soup yesterday its taste was really gud but after about 5 minutes of serving the soup it turned out runny like water.i followed ur recipe but what would b the reason can u plzzz help me out of this??????????
W/Salaam, the stalks or stems of fresh coriander.
Hi Fouzia..Basically I,m not a kitchen person but since i liked ur pg & ur way of explanation & recipes i loved tht...today i tried chicked soup...Its taste was good but it didn,t got thick..eventhough i added corn flour..may b u maeant by sme special branded corn flour or corn starch ...& please tell me in how much water i have to add cornflour. and what if i don,t use potatoe...will it make any differrence in thickness.. Plz reply me..Allah hafiz
Hi and thank you. Cornflour is the same thing as cornstarch, and it's main purpose is to thicken soups and gravies. Maybe the particular brand you used is not very good, just use a bit more cornstarch. Normally you can mix 1 tsp in about 2 tbsp of water. If that doesn't thicken your soup, repeat and add until the consistency is to your liking. Potato also thickens the soup so I would not recommend that you omit it. :)
Salaam what do you mean by coriander sticks
Salam Fauzia am so delighted over ur recipes jazakillah khair...pls any substitute for coriander sticks and whole pepper?
W/Salaam, coriander sticks means the stems from fresh coriander. You can omit the whole pepper and use powdered instead. :)
You can serve this soup with pieces of fried Khubz (pita bread)...easy crouton !
If you are using chicken breasts, how many kg or grams should you use? Also how many does this recipe serve?
I would recommend for you to use chicken with bones for better flavour. The soup serves 2-4. And if you have no choice but chicken breasts, then about 250gm will do.
Hi, Am really searching for chicken Hot and Sour Soup. Would you be having this recipe?
Hi, sorry at the moment I do not have the recipe posted yet.
