Directions: |
Directions:Put the duck in a large saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil and skim off the foam that rises to the surface. Add the stock, ginger, carrot, onion, leek, garlic, peppercorns, and soy sauce. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 1-1/2 hours.
Remove the duck from the stock and set aside. When the duck is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and shred into bite size pieces, discarding any fat.
Strain the stock and press the vegetables with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid. Remove as much fat as possible. Discard the vegetables and herbs.
Bring the stock just to a boil in a clean saucepan and add the strips of carrot and leek, the mushrooms, and duck meat. Reduce the heat and cook gently for 5 minutes or until the carrot is tender.
Stir in the watercress and continue simmering for 1-2 minutes until it is wilted. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into warmed bowls and serve immediately. |
