The common thread that weaves culinary magic is obviously the harmonious blend of ingredients, flavors and textures. Aiming to strike enough diversity is crucial to create fusion dishes, and we totally love the idea of creating new dishes from old favorites. This butter chicken soup is an ideal example of pure comfort in a bowl without losing the elegance of classic flavors. The colour, richness and textures come together to bring you the perfect match. Crispy chicken strips are soaked in creamy sauce to bring together two contrasting textures. Delish!
Creamy Butter Chicken Soup Recipe
Prep chicken – I highly recommend using chicken breasts in this recipe. Cook them in water or poach, and shred them into thin strips. These chicken strips are then fried in a little oil with ground fenugreek and garam masala. When done, the strips will get a beautiful light brown colour. Make the sauce – This is the classic butter chicken sauce recipe involving lots of sautéed onions, ginger, garlic, tomato paste for the stunning color and cream. It also includes a few spices like ground cumin, garam masala and red chili powder. A little butter and a light splash of lemon juice are quintessential to create the perfect recipe. Serve – Before serving, I like to garnish this soup with coriander (cilantro) leaves, chopped nuts and dollop of cream.
