Chicken And Baby Corn Soup
This is a clear, light soup that has elements of spanish flavor, mixed with a touch of asia. it is wonderful for a starter or perfect for a light lunch. it is my adaptation of a paragon press recipe.
Steps
Clean chicken breast , then cut lengthwise into four strips.
Thinly slice strips across the grain.
In a large saucepan or stock pot , heat the oil over medium-high heat , until almost smoking , and then add chicken , stirring constantly.
Cook chicken 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned.
