Chicken Rasam ( Chicken Soup)


On a cold winter evening with a cozy couch and comforter, we need a hot soup and bread to satisfy our evening.

I made this very simple one-pot chicken soup with few ingredients and can be made in minutes just put all ingredients in a pressure cooker and cook for 4 to 5 whistles and here you go the hot and healthy soup is ready to be served.

This can be a good remedy for a long-lasting dry cough for this cold chilled winter weather. You can skip the onion and tomato from the soup if you decide to be clear soup for even the kids to have it easy.

You can have it with a slice of bread or with plain rice or just soup or rasam as it is.
