Quick Ginger Chicken Soup
Serious Mealtimes / Vicky Wasik
A Colombian not liking soup is like a Boston resident forgetting what happened on October 27 2004 or a Star Wars fan forgetting that Han Shot First. Although my recently naturalized wife rang in the New Year as a full-fledged American citizen I’m pretty sure there are Colombian laws that require her to like soup even after she’s sworn allegiance to another country. I’m not sure what the consequences would be if I didn’t provide her with enough soup but I really don’t want to know.
We’re kicking off the new year with a simple chicken soup that was partly inspired by a bowl of samgyetang my wife and I had in Seoul on a gloomy December day in 2012. That classic Korean soup made by stuffing a whole young chicken with rice simmering it in a broth with garlic ginseng and jujubes and finishing it off with a heaping helping of scallions seemed tailor-made to warm us up from the sleet and wind outside. I thought my mother’s chicken soup was good for colds but my mother is not Korean.
