Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
6 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons peeled and finely julienned ginger
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
2 teaspoons Chinese chili paste with garlic
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup canned slivered bamboo shoots, drained
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1 large egg, beaten
4 ounces fresh cooked crabmeat
1/4 cup green onions or scallions, white and green parts, cut on the bias into thin strips or julienned

Steps:

  • Place the dried shiitake mushrooms in a small heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to soak for 30 minutes. Drain, rinse, and cut into thin slices. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, heat the chicken stock. Add the ginger, garlic, chile paste, vinegar, soy sauce, reconstituted shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the lime juice and sugar and season to taste with salt.
  • Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing together the cornstarch and water. Add the slurry to the soup and simmer for a few minutes until the soup thickens. Bring the soup to a boil and slowly pour in the beaten egg, stirring gently a few times with a spoon or with chopsticks. Don't whisk or stir too vigorously--you want nice long shreds of egg. The egg will cook almost instantly. Remove the soup from the heat.
  • On the plate: Ladle the soup into 4 bowls. Top each bowl with an ounce of crabmeat and garnish with the green onions.

SOPA DE LIMA (MEXICAN LIME SOUP)



Sopa De Lima (Mexican Lime Soup) image

Hot or cold outside, this soup is light and refreshing. I first enjoyed this dish while sitting ocean-side in Mexico. Goes great with a margarita or beer and a side of chips and salsa. Use whatever chilies you want (hot or mild) depending on the amount of heat you enjoy. Serve in bowls with crushed tortilla chips or strips on top.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

9 cups chicken broth
5 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 large red onion, quartered
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 green onions, chopped
1 large green chile pepper, seeded and chopped
2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
6 limes, juiced
½ lime
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
tortilla chips, for topping

Steps:

  • Bring the chicken broth, chicken breasts, red onion, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and thyme to a boil in a large pot; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred into bite-sized strips; return to the simmering pot.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the green onions and green chile pepper in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the tomatoes into the mixture and continue cooking until soft, about 5 minute more; pour the mixture into the pot with the chicken soup. Season with the salt; return the soup to a simmer. Add the lime juice and 1/2 a lime; cook another 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and remove the lime half; stir in the cilantro to serve.
