The Eight treasure soup is a regular item on our order menu at our favourite Chinese restaurant in Gurgaon. Last week sipping on the warm delicious soup for lunch after a movie, I said to myself, it would be a good idea to make it at home. Winter naturally is the best time to prepare and have soup. The number Eight is considered lucky in China and this soup is made for special occasions. I have provided the recipe for the non-vegetarian version of the soup using chicken powder and chicken mince but vegetarians can do away with them with more variety of vegetables apart from the ones already mentioned in the recipe (like broccoli, Baby corn, snow peas, french beans) and vegetables stock.
Chicken stock is a good substitute for the chicken powder if don’t have it handy. At the end don’t miss adding the sesame oil. It lends an authentic flavour to the soup. The best part is this soup is, it is easy to make and can be served along with any meal. It is not very spicy and therefore ideal for kids as well. If you are looking for a Chinese soup with a difference this festive season, look no further! Happy Fooding Around!!!
