This Vegan/Vegetarian Healthy Manchow Soup - Indo Chinese popular indo chinese soup that is great whatever the weather. (In my opinion). Most people seem to prefer it just in Winter but I don't think it is a heavy soup and I feel that this Veg Manchow Soup is suited to summer too! It is a quick, easy and simple recipe. So it is great for a quick weeknight dinner and it is ready in less than 25 minutes.

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.

How to make Vegetarian Manchow Soup 

Chop all your veggies and set aside.

Boil the noodles and set aside.

Fry off onions, ginger, garlic, and green chilies.

Add all the vegetables (you can use any you desire), season and cook briefly.

Pour in the Soy sauce, veg stock, and salt.

Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, At this stage you may need to add cornflour (mixed in water) to thicken it up.

Garnish with spring onions.
