Simple Soup of Chicken, Water Chestnuts, and Fried Ginger

My staff always laughs at me for floating a dozen ingredients in any bowl of soup, so this very pleasant soup with only nine components came to be called “simple soup.” No reason, however, to hold back! Some fresh kernels of corn and a bit of fresh tomato dice—now that I look at it—would be simply lovely in this soup.

This is an easy soup to prepare. Once the chicken is marinated it can be finished in minutes.
