01
Boil until soft
- Cut the drumsticks into 2–3 inch pieces.
- Add them to a pot with 3 cups water.
- Add 1 small Maggi seasoning cube.
- Boil until the drumsticks become soft and the flavour releases into the water.
02
Remove the flesh
- Take out the drumstick pieces.
- Using a spoon, gently scoop out the soft inside flesh.
- Keep the flavoured water/stock aside.
03
Return to the soup
- Add the scooped drumstick flesh back into the stock.
- This keeps the soup light while still giving it texture and fibre.
04
Final simmer
- Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
- Add freshly crushed pepper.
- Taste before adding any extra salt, since the seasoning cube already contains salt.
Best way to serve
