confinment food: FILIPINO SAYOTE CHICKEN SOUP
(Learnt this recipe from a Filipino Mother. Adding the Sayote to an otherwise ordinary Chicken Soup seems to make it really sweet & delicious!)
1 Sayote (or "Choyate" - can even buy from NTUC supermarket or wet markets), cut into cubes.
1 or 2 large chicken thighs (scald & rinse)
1 or 2 tomatoes, cut into quarters.
1 onion, cubed.
2 slices ginger
1 carrot, cubed.
Put all ingredients into the crockpot with Hot water and simmer for at least 2 hours. I also like to use this soup for chicken macaroni - then the older kids can also have a meal of it!
