Lemongrass Chicken Soup image

In Chinese cultures, lemongrass and cilantro are considered yin ingredients -- cooling elements that are ideal on hot days. The subtle heat of ginger and chile, combined with the bright aroma of fresh mint, enlivens this lightened rendition of chicken soup.

THAI HOT AND SOUR SOUP



Thai Hot and Sour Soup image

Fantastic authentic Thai hot and sour soup. Ideal as a starter in a Thai meal. Not very filling, but a great appetizer. Very quick and easy to prepare. The tom yum paste is hot, so try the soup before adding the chile and decide if any extra heat is required. Do not attempt if you do not have fresh coriander, as this is vital!

Hot and Sour Soup with Ginger image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Ginger     Mushroom     Sauté     Low Cal     Tofu     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 1/2 ounces dried shiitake mushrooms
5 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons oriental sesame oil
3 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1 10.5-ounce package extra-fine or firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 ounce bean thread noodles or angel hair pasta, broken in half
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
Pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • Combine broth and mushrooms in bowl. Let stand until mushrooms soften, about 20 minutes. Remove mushroom from broth and squeeze dry over bowl with broth; reserve broth. Discard mushroom stems; thinly slice caps. Combine vinegar and cornstarch in small bowl; stir to blend.
  • Heat oil in large saucepan over high heat. Add ginger; sauté 30 seconds. Pour in reserved broth, leaving behind any sediment. Bring to boil. Add tofu, noodles, soy sauce, red pepper, sugar and mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture; stir until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your soup the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot, the soup will be watery and bland. Add the ingredients in batches, if necessary.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. This will help the flavors to develop without overcooking the vegetables.
  • Season to taste: Taste the soup throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Garnish before serving: Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, chopped vegetables, or a squeeze of lemon juice to add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:
