Method

•  Marinate the chicken in salt and black pepper for about an hour and cook it in a frying pan until it becomes light brown.

•  Add sliced mushrooms to the chicken and fry for 2 minutes.

•  In a separate pot, add chicken stock and boil.

•  Once the chicken stock is boiled completely, add the cooked mushrooms and chicken cubes to it.

•  In a small cup, mix the corn flour, salt and pepper in water and pour the mixture into the chicken stock, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

•  Once the soup has thickened, beat an egg and add it to the mixture and allow it to simmer for a few minutes before taking it off the flame.

•  Add soy sauce and vinegar to the soup as desired and mix. Your soup is now ready.

•  Serve hot with a side of bread and butter.
