Thunderstorm Soup

This is a comfort soup that I love making when the weather turns cold. I usually use russet potatoes because they disintegrate into the soup, any type is fine. If a loved one feels cold or slightly unwell, add additional ginger as it will quickly warm those cold bones up.

In this receipe, you do not need to add any salt or other condiments as well. You'll be amazed how naturally sweet and tasty this soup already is.

Preparation time: 5 mins

Cooking Time: 40 mins (minimum fuss, just boil on low heat)

Chicken parts (2pcs)
Potato (1pc, chopped)

Greens (6 pcs, sliced - I used Romaine lettuce, but any type is as good)
Garnish (depends on preference)

Start cooking!:
1. Bring 3 mugs of water to the boil in a pot.
2. Place everything into the pot with the exception of the greens and garnish.
3. Cook on med-low heat for 30 mins.(You can cook for another 10-20 mins more if you prefer a stronger medicinal taste)

Variations:
Carrots or other roots vegetables can be added to this soup

Vegetarians only need to remove the chicken. Adding pumpkin is a good alternative.
