This dish I think is the less spicy among all my other dishes. Is also good for lazy people like me as this one dish alone is good enough for all the nutrients needed. It has the combination of meat and vegetables. In Malay, we called is “Sup Ayam” which simply means chicken soup.

I think everybody knows that the secret to a good soup is the stock. It could be beef or chicken stock. But is such a PITA ( Pain In The Ass ) to keep chicken stock and make it available at home. So I would normally just use chicken cube as I don’t really care about the MSG mumbo jumbo. So this spicy chicken soup dish is so simple to prepare and yet it has all the nutrients needed. Different texture from a few ingredients. Celery is meant for some crunchiness and potato are for some soft texture. This soup is best eaten with some chili and pati ( fish sauce ).
