Ingredients
 
 

Soup
  • 1 l Tomato Juice
  • 720 g Applesauce
  • 340 ml Chicken Broth
  • 1 tsp Sambal Oelek
  • 1.5 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Leek
  • 1 cup Shredded Chicken

Method
 

Preparing Ingredients
  1. Slice the leek in thin slices, and wash it thoroughly.
  2. Beat the egg, and fry it up in a skillet. It doesn't have to be browned, just enough to be cooked through.
  3. Slice the egg in thin strips (1cm / 0.5" wide)
Make the Soup
  1. Add all the ingredients, except the leek and egg, to the pot, and mix to combine.
  2. Over medium-low heat, heat it up, but do not bring it to a boil.
  3. Add the egg and leek, and keep cooking it for a bit to warm the leek and egg. You want the leek to still have crunch, so don't cook it for too long.
