Malaysian Potato, Carrot and Tomato Soup - Malaysia ABC Soup

 Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken pieces with bones
• 1 large carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 3 medium potatoes
• 1 quartered medium tomato
• 1 peeled and thickly sliced medium onion
• 1 tsp crushed pepper corn
• 4 cups of water
• Salt to taste

Preparation:

Chicken
This is a quick way to remove the gunk from the chicken. Put the chicken pieces in a pot with just enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil. Pour away the water. Rinse the chicken under the tap to get rid of any blood or other impurities.

Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 inch cubes. If they are not immediately used, soak them in water so that they do not turn black.
Cooking the Soup

1. Fill a double boiler or a soup pot with 4 cups of water. Put in the prepared chicken and boil on medium heat. Once the water boils, remove any impurities on the surface with a ladle. Turn the flame to low.
2. Add the onions, tomato, carrots and pepper corn. Simmer on very low heat for about 2 hours.
3. Drain the water from the potatoes. Add them into the soup 30 minutes before the soup is ready.
4. Add salt to taste, and enjoy the Malaysian ABC soup!
