Detox Vegetables chicken vermicelli soup

I like green bean vermicelli soup, the taste is not strong, it is healthy. I believe having healthy meal regularly is important for my body, even though I don't eat any deep fried food. 

This recipe is specially healthy because it helps to detox your body waste. 



Ingredients
10 Chinese mushroom
1 carrot
1 stalk celery
1/2 broccoli (keep stalk)
1 ear of corn (keep corn cob & silk)

3 cup water (include Chinese mushroom water)
1 slice ginger

1.5 cup chicken stock
1 chicken thigh* 

Green bean/Mung bean vermicelli (glass noodle)

*It is optional to keep bone, but I will suggest keeping bone, which produces stronger flavor

Instructions
1. 4-5 hours before cooking, wash Chinese mushroom and then soak it until it is soft, keep the water

2. Peel off carrot, slice carrot, celery & mushroom briefly
Cut broccoli into smaller portion, slice the stalk briefly

3. Remove corn husks (outer shell) & discard them
Rinse corn silk and set aside
Wash corn kernel & cut it into 3 portions

4. In a large pot, add in 3 cups of water, including Chinese mushroom water
Add in corn silk & ginger
Cook for 15mins after boil, then remove silk & discard it

5. Put all vegetables EXCEPT broccoli flowers into the pot, add in chicken stock
When it is boil, reduce to low heat and simmer for 1 hour

6. When time is up, add in chicken thigh & simmer for 20 mins

After 20 mins, add in broccoli flowers and let it cook for 5 mins

7. At the end add in vermicelli
