Sweet and Sour Plum Soup

Step 1

In a large pot, combine 4 cups chicken broth and 1 lb chicken breast. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool. Add 1 sliced onion and 6 pitted, halved plums to the broth. Simmer over medium heat until plums are soft, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Shred the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp flour with 0.5 cup sour cream until smooth. Stir this mixture into the soup.

Step 5

Simmer the soup over low heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.

Step 6

Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
