Creamy Kombu Chicken Soup 昆布奶香鸡肉汤

Today I discovered a way of cooking delicious soup for my son! Is fast and easy because everything go into a soup pot. I added vegetables and chicken in it, and the stock base is using kombu or konbu. 

The recipe inspired me to cook this soup is from a child nutrition recipes book, it use cabbage and chicken stock, the chicken has to be pan-fried to golden brown before add to the soup. As I'm afraid the fried chicken will be too hard for my son, i didn't pan-fried the chicken and end up doing my own way all together. The soup turn out very delicious with a very flavorful taste of kombu, and of course this can be a great soup base for noodle too. I will serve the soup together with steamed rice for my son dinner.

Add milk to the soup last and just right before switch off the heat.
