Chicken vegetable soup Indian recipe

This is one dish I never stick on to any particular method. I prepare it in whatever way I feel like and is easy for me. I prepare this almost daily when my kids have cold. I feel it helps them to heal naturally with in few days without any medication.  I generally keep them only on this soup and few spoons of rice, as it is lighter to digest. My 2 yrs old cannot eat his meal without veggies. So I add some. This tastes very close to the chicken vegetable soup that is served in pizza hut in Singapore, except that mine has an added flavor of ghee and spices.
