thai chicken & potato soup
My wife and niece make this soup often, and it is delicious! I was intrigued when I first saw this made as I have rarely seen Thais use potatoes. This is an easy basic non-spicy soup made with fresh and common ingredients. This is normally served with rice on the side but can certainly be enjoyed as is.

How To Make thai chicken & potato soup
-
1Prep the wings. These were cut from full wings.
-
2Prep the potatoes and onions.
-
3Prep the tomatoes, and more onions were prepped as well.
-
4Chinese celery is quite thin, the stalks and leaves are used. The celery has the roots in this photo on right, two bunches were used. The coriander underneath was used in another recipe.
-
5Cut the celery (stalks and leaves) and spring onion (white and green parts) into 2 inch pieces.
-
6Add the water and garlic to a large pot, bring to a boil.
-
7After a few minutes, add the stock cube and the wing sticks. Let the pot come to boil, and occasionally skim any foam off the top. Cook until the wings are just cooked through.
-
8Now add the potatoes and let the pot come to a boil again, cook until the potatoes are just fork tender.
-
9Then add the onions and tomatoes, reduce heat to medium low and cook until the onion is tender.
