Coconut aminos ( use soy sauce if unavailable)
Cooking olive oil ( we are just sauteeing the veggies with this)
Red chilli sauce

Storing the soup ? Follow this :
The recipe makes 4 servings of soup. If you want to store it, you can referigerate for 3 days. It thickens a lot as we are using xanthum gum for thickening, so microwave before use or add some water if you re-heating it; it will be good as new !
Veg soup Instructions:
People making veg soup, have to use the xanthum gum slurry as we are not adding egg for thickening. Also, for making vegetable stock , boil the veggies in 500 ml water for 10 minutes and drain the veggies and use the remaining stock for the soup.

- First, let's make the chicken stock and shredded chicken. Add 500 ml water and the chicken breasts. If you do not want a bland stock, add turmeric, salt (pinch of each), bay leaf and 2 pepper corns. Give 3 whistles in the cooker or cook on the stove top with a lid on for 25 minutes. Reserve the stock. Shred the chicken with a fork.
- Take the ginger, garlic and chillies and pulse until it is coarsely ground. Do not add water and make a paste.
- Saute the ground ginger-garlic-chillies in hot pil along with the veggies. Cut the veggies more fine if you don't like blobs of veggies in your soup. Saute for a minute. Add the stock and boil for 5 minutes.
- Add the coconut aminos (soy sauce) , red chilli sauce , tomato paste and mix well. Add half of the shredded chicken,combine well and boil for 3 minutes. Add water, and boil for a minute. Add the whisked egg, and stir immediately . Pour the egg slowly at a time.
- Add the xanthum gum slurry . If you do not have it or do not want to buy it, egg is enough to thicken the soup.
- Boil for 2 minutes and garnish with coriander and the leftover boiled chicken.
- Make vegetable stock first. Take 500 ml water and boil the veggies in it FOR 10 minutes. Drain the veggies and reserve the stock .
- Add oil, sautee the ground ginger-garlic-chilly and boiled veggies.
- Add the vegetable stock , add the coconut aminos (soy sauce) and red chilli sauce, and tomato paste. Combine well. Boil for 5 minutes
- Add the water , boil for 2 minutes. Thicken the soup by adding the xanthum gum slurry. Do not skip the xanthum gum for veg soup or it will be runny. If you desire a runny soup, you can skip this step.
