Slow-simmered drumsticks release a buttery, pepper-laced broth that smells like comfort before the first sip. It’s silky, slightly smoky, and quietly bold, one of those soups you don’t rush, you linger over.

Ingredients

2 drumsticks 1 tbsp butter 1 tsp chopped garlic 1 tsp black pepper powder 1 small chopped onion 3 cups water Salt to taste 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves

Step 1

Melt butter till it smells nutty, then slide in garlic and onions, cook till edges turn lightly golden, not pale.

Step 2

Toss in drumsticks and coat them in that buttery base so they start releasing flavour early.

Step 3

Add water, salt, and let it bubble gently, not aggressively, for a deep extraction.

Step 4

Press the drumsticks to pull out the soft pulp, then strain for a smooth, glossy soup.

Step 5

Finish with a hit of pepper and coriander right at the end for that fresh, sharp lift.
