My simple chicken soup with bitter gourds and young pineapple chunks.
Cooking for two people, I used only two chicken wings. Using the boned parts of the chicken offers better stock to the soup. Also, I only prefer the very small bitter gourds with dark green color to cook with this soup.
Ingredients: (serves 2)
- 2 chicken wings, cut at the joints into separate parts
- 1/2 tbs fish sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 4-5 baby bitter gourds, cut into thick rings
- 1/3 young pineapple, cut into thick slices
Cooking:
- Combine the chicken, fish sauce, pepper and shallot in a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook for 3-4 mintues and stir constantly.
- Add 2 cup water or more to the saucepan, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- Add the bitter gourds and pineapple slices and cook until the bitter gourds become just tender.

There are various chicken soup recipes. I know some people who loves spicy food that they add chili sauce to every soup they eat. This soup is appreciated for its mild fragrant and gentle sour-sweet flavor.
