  • 3 cloves garlic bruised/smashed
  • 5 cloves shallots thinly sliced
  • 2 cm ginger bruised

  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ tsp nutmeg powder
  • ½ tsp ground white pepper
  • 2 carrots sliced into rounds

  • 1 stalk spring onion/scallion roughly sliced

  • Garnishes: Fried shallots bird’s eye chili paste (sambal), and lime wedges.

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Frying pan for sautéing
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Spatula
  • Soup ladle

Method
 

  1. Parboil the Chicken: Boil the Olagud Super Free-Range Chicken in water until half-cooked. Skim off any scum or foam floating on top to keep the broth clear.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the oil in a pan. Sauté the shallots, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and bay leaves until fragrant.
  3. Combine: Transfer the sautéed spices into the pot with the boiling chicken, then turn the heat down to low.
  4. Season: Add the nutmeg powder, pepper, and salt. Simmer gently until the chicken is tender and the broth tastes savory.
  5. Add Veggies: Toss in the carrots, potatoes, and green beans. Cook briefly just until tender but not mushy.
  6. Finish: Finally, add the spring onions and celery. Remove from heat once all ingredients are evenly cooked.
  7. Serve: Ladle the Klaten Chicken Soup into bowls while hot. Top with a sprinkle of fried shallots and serve with sambal and a squeeze of lime juice on the side.

Notes

  1. Freshness is Key: Use fresh Olagud Super Free-Range Chicken to ensure the broth is naturally clear and savory.
  2. Low & Slow: Simmer the chicken over low heat. This allows the essence of the meat to extract perfectly without making the broth cloudy.
  3. Boost the Veggies: Feel free to add fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli or cabbage to boost the vitamin content.
  4. Watch the Sodium: Minimize excess salt and avoid instant flavor packets the free-range chicken broth is naturally savory enough!
  5. Serve with Rice: Enjoy with warm steamed rice for extra energy.
    These simple tips will make your Klaten Chicken Soup healthier without compromising its delicious flavor.
