Steps

Cooking Chicken Potato Soup:
-
Peel the potato and cut it into small cubes.
-
Peel the carrot and cut it into chunks.
-
Cut the onion into large pieces (divide into 8 parts).
-
Cut the tomato into wedges or large pieces.
-
Heat a wok/pot and add the butter to melt.
-
Once the butter melts, add the onion and sauté until fragrant and slightly cooked.
-
Add the chicken and stir to combine. Once the chicken starts to cook, add the water.
-
Once the water begins to boil, add the potato and carrot. Stir well.
-
Season with soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring to combine.
-
Simmer for about 30 minutes. (If any foam rises to the surface, skim it off.)
-
Add the tomato and continue simmering for about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the coriander.
-
Serve the soup as it is, or you can adjust the flavor by adding a pinch of salt and pepper. For a spicier Thai version, add chili peppers, 1 tsp of lime juice, and 1 tsp of fish sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
