For the final day of Chinese recipes, here is a delicious veg manchow soup for you. I am not a huge fan of soups. The only soup I make often is made with drumstick leaves and is often taken a a medicine than for fun. But after I shifted to paleo, I have been making soups daily and I am also enjoying it thoroughly. Most of my time in kitchen is spent in cutting vegetables. I use lots of cabbage, carrots and mushrooms daily and this soup uses all these veggies and makes a great filling meal. Yes, you heard it right, this is what I made for dinner. If you are serving it as an appetizer, then thicken the soup with corn flour. The amount will serve minimum six persons, but if you are having this as your whole dinner, then the given amount will serve only two persons.
As we love thin soups, I didn’t add anything to thicken it. On the first day I was skeptical about serving it as dinner for hubby, so made a small portion and made some cauliflower rice for hubby. He just wanted to taste a small portion. But once he tasted it, he loved it so much and finished off what I made for myself. So I made a huge portion yesterday and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. Usually manchow soup is topped with deep fried noodles. As noodles is off the chart for paleo, I topped the soup with freshly grated carrot. It was even so good to look at. You can even add paneer cubes to the broth. I have added just water, but if you have veg stock, do add it. It will be very flavourful.
