I need some solace in this winter weather and as always turn to chicken soup. Its healing in itself. I came up with what was in my pantry. very simple...yet tasty

Prep time - 15 to 30 mins
Servings - 4 to 6

Left over cooked Chicken breast - pulled into strips - 1.5 cups
Chicken broth(low sodium) - 1 cartoon
onion - 1 medium chopped
carrots - 1 cup
Thyme - 2 sprigs
black pepper
coriander powder - 1 tsp
cumin powder - 1 tsp.

Method
------
1. In a soup pot (or pressure cooker), saute onions, salt, until onions are transluscent.
2. Add chicken ( you can replace left over chicken with fresh chicken cubed), carrots, saute for 3-4 mins
3. Add chicken broth, coriander powder, cumin powder.
4. Bring to boil with lid covered, then reduce and cook for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is done.

Simply top it with cilantro and feel the heal....

You can add different veggies to this soup, especially mushrooms add a ton of flavor.
