Chicken and egg are two amazing ingredients for a soup. I usually make this soup for my daughter when she is bored of eating normal egg or when she is having cold. This soup is good for adults as well as kids.

Chicken- 2 pieces
Egg - 1
Cornflour - 1 tsp

Method
Finely chop ginger, garlic and onion. Keep chicken pieces for boiling along with ginger, garlic, onion and salt. When chicken is cooked, take it out and keep aside. Strain the water and mash vegetables so that its mixes in stock. Now keep it for boiling. Mix cornflour in a cup with little water. When stock starts boiling and cornflour to it. Stir nicely.
Now beat an egg and add to boiling soup. Stir slowly while adding egg.
Check salt and add if required. Add pinch of pepper powder or as per your taste.
