Chicken Asparagus Soup

Here's one of my favorite Chinese-style soups.  It's so simple to make, and I must say Yaya Rufina has already mastered the technique:


1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
4 heads of garlic, chopped
3 small white onions, chopped
1 can of white asparagus (800 grams)
3 chicken cubes


Saute garlic and onions, add in chicken pieces and chicken cubes.  When chicken is slightly browned, pour in 4 liters of water.  Add salt & pepper to taste.  Let the soup boil for around 20-30 minutes to ensure that the chicken is tender.  Add the asparagus, including its brine for added flavor.  Let boil for another 5 minutes, and serve piping hot.  If you want, you may add a little sesame oil just before shutting the heat off, to get a little zing!
