Servings: persons

1 quart water
1 quart vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
8 chicken thighs (or breasts)
½ teaspoon black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (or Korean parsley)
1 teaspoon sea salt (don't use if using broth, it's already salty)
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 potato, chopped
1 teaspoon cornstarch (mixed in a little water)
1 medium tomatoes, chopped (optional)

1
Place all ingredients except the egg and cornstarch in a large pot.
2
Bring to a boil, then simmer for an hour or until chicken juices run clear.
3
While keeping broth at a simmer, remove and shred the chicken.
4
Return shredded chicken to broth.
5
Continue simmering for a few minutes.
6
Then slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the broth, stirring it in thoroughly.
7
Simmer 30 minutes.
8
Note: Sometimes instead of adding tomato, I add an egg -- Take a slightly beaten egg and SLOWLY add to broth while moving a fork around the top inch or so of the broth -- it will make the egg a little thready looking like in egg drop soup.
