Receipe for chicken soup

CHICKEN SOUP - Chinese style

This is the simplest way to make a nice chicken soup base.

3 x chicken shell
ginger
3-6x dry scallop


  1. Start boiling water into a large stockpot. It really doesn't matter how much water you boil, but make sure you make room for the chicken shell
  2. Wash the dry scallop and put them into the stockpot
  3. Put 1-2 slices of ginger into wok
  4. Boil a wok full of water, and put some slices of ginger into the wok
  5. Wash the chicken shell, and remove excess chicken fat
  6. Put the chicken shells into the wok when the water is boiling, turn them once or twice, and put them out of the water after 10 minutes
  7. Wash the shells in cold water, and put the shells into the stockpot
  8. Bring the stockpot to full boil, and then turn down the heat to simmer
  9. Simmer for 2 hours or so, if the water level is getting too low, put more boiling water into the stockpot
