Instruction

Prepare the broth

  1. Wash the ingredients and place the chicken neck and wings in a medium pot. 
  2. Add all the rest of the ingredients into the pot.
  3. Pour in the water and pickle brine before covering the pot with a lid.
  4. Bring to a boil and reduce the power of the burner until the soup is gently simmering.
  5. Cook the broth for 1.5 hrs and avoid opening the lid if possible. Top up with water if necessary. 
  6. Remove the broth from the stove. Using a slotted spoon, remove all the ingredients for the soup onto a cutting board. Only the broth should be left.

Prepare the soup

  6. Finally, add the cream and cook for another 2 mins while stirring.
