Healthy and Fragrant Indo Chinese Fusion Soup
This Chinese vegetable soup to me in India in a bowl.
This Indo chinese Manchow soup is found on every Indian restaurant menu in India.
I remember it well. Hot and Sour Soup also graces the menu but this is slightly different.
In a hot and sour soup, usually a green chilli or red chilli sauce is added or white/black pepper. The sour element usually comes in the form of vinegar.
Traditionally this soup is topped with crisp fried noodles but I have left them out and just added boiled noodles instead.
I also use vegetable stock over water in soups because it adds so much more flavour and depth.
