Mushroom Thick Soup

These few days, Giants Supermarket downstair have great offer for Onions (4kg) and Potatoes (3kg). 2 bags for only SGD4.50. So, I carry back a bag of Onion and a bag of Potato. It's really cheap, and fresh.. so now is the question of how I can clear them all. Yesterday, I had made Onion rings for kids. They love it so much! Later, I'll post my recipe for Onion Ring.

Here is my recipe for the Thick Mushroom Soup I cooked this morning for my kids.

Ingredients:
Bottom Mushroom 200g (Fresh one bought from the supermarket)
Potatoes 5 pieces (around 450g)
Red Big Onion 2 pieces (around 200g+)
Chicken fillet (breast meat) 2 strips
Corn flour 1tbsp (to marinate the chicken fillet)
Chicken stocks 1Ltr (I use 1Ltr water with the Chicken Cube/Beef Cube)
Rice Flour 2 tbsp (add a little water and stir)
Cooking oil 2tbsp

Seasoning:
McCormick Basil Leaves
McCormick Garlic Powder
Salt

Methods:
1. Prepare the ingredients. Slice the chicken fillet (not too small because later you have to take it out before blend) and marinate it with a tablespoon of corn flour. Set aside for 10min.
2. Cut potatoes to cubes, slice the buttom mushroom, chop and minced the onion (don't need too small).
3. Heat up 2 tbsp of oil and stir fry the chicken breast meat till fragrance, add in onion and fry till little brown. Then add Garlic Powder.
4. Pour in sliced Mushroom and Potatoes cube and continue to stir fry for 2min.  Add water or Chicken stock. Bring it to boil and turn the fire slow and simmer for 20min.

5. Add seasoning, Chicken cube (if you use plain water like me). Add Basil leaves, salt etc..
6. Add in the mixture of the rice flour and stir.

7. Dig out all the sliced Chicken breast meat, cut cube and set aside.
8. Blend the remaining ingredients in the blender or if you have hand mixer, it will be great. Pour the end product into a pot and bring to boil. Add back the cooked and cut breast meat. Ready to serve.
9. When serve, sprinkle some Basil leaves on top will bring up the fragrance and add on to the taste.

***Note: Do not blend the chicken breast meat together with other ingredients. It will make the texture of the soup become very rough and dry.
***Potatoes were used to thicken the soup. However, after blend the texture will be still a little rough. That's why i add rice flour to smoothen it.
