Chicken and Watercress Soup
1/4 cup dried Chinese mushrooms
1/2 cup water
2 cans (13-3/4 oz. each) chicken broth
1 bunch watercress
1/4 cup sliced water chestnuts
1/2 small chicken breast, skinned, boned and cut into small pieces
1 egg white
Dash white pepper
Soak mushrooms in water about 20 minutes or until soft; drain and
chop. In FARBERWARE® Electric Wok add chicken broth. Set heat
control dial at 350°F. Cover and heat to boiling. Cut watercress into
1-inch pieces. When broth is boiling, add mushrooms, water chestnuts
and watercress. Mix chicken with egg white; stir into broth to prevent
chicken from sticking together. Cook until chicken turns white, about
2 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper.
Makes about 4 cups.
NOTE: Fresh mushrooms may be substituted for Chinese mushrooms
and water.
