This is a sweet and salty soup, for low sodium leave out the soy sauce, but it will not taste the same (somewhere on here is a recipe for low sodium soy sauce). This soup reheats and freezes well.

Categories     Chinese

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb pork, shaved
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup carrot, grated
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 cup mushroom, sliced
6 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup spinach, chopped
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Stir in chicken stock and spinach.
  • Bring to a boil; stir briskly; add beaten egg slowly.
  • Mix cornstarch into water; add to soup; stir until thick.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your soup the best flavor. If possible, buy organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding ingredients to the soup, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the soup from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to achieve a flavorful broth.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmering will help to develop the flavors of the soup without overcooking the ingredients.
  • Season to taste: Taste the soup as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Be careful not to over-season the soup, as you can always add more seasonings later.
  • Garnish before serving: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of grated cheese. This will add a touch of flavor and color to the soup.

Conclusion:

Mandarin soup is a delicious and nutritious soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables.
