Asian Style Chicken Soup for the Soul

What's better than making a pot of broth on a rainy day? Making chicken soup on a rainy day! Especially when the whole thing takes an hour in a pressure cooker.

You will need...

  • 3 lbs. of chicken drumsticks 
  • 2 lbs. of carrots 
  • 2 lbs. of mushrooms
  • 3 red onions 
  • 1 bag of frozen peas
  • 1 lb. of spinach
  • 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 3 tbs. of grated ginger 
  • 1 tbs. of fish sauce (I use Redboat)
  • 1 tbs. of coconut aminos 
  • Optional: 1-2 chicken feet and/or 1 ham hock (I used both, only because I like my broth extra flavorful and nutritious)


Directions: 
Sauté the onions in your cooking fat of choice (I used tallow) until translucent. Brown the drumsticks and add the garlic. Add everything else (except the spinach) and cover with water. Add salt and white pepper to taste. Cook for 30-45 min (counting from when the pressure indicator pops up) depending on how mushy you like your vegetables. When it's done and you take the lid off, remove the feet and hock (use them again!) and stir in the spinach. 



Nutritious, indeed!
We're still waiting on spring over here!
