Winter is a season for soups and vegetables so what better way than to create this simple yet popular clear soup. While, the recipe talks about a vegetable soup, you can throw in shredded chicken or shrimps if you would like a non -vegetarian option. One distinguishing factor in my recipe is the fried garlic. It gives a unique edge to the flavour. The soup is more in the Chinese style than continental and quite light actually. Ideal for a light meal with garlic bread rolls or as a starter to a more elaborate dinner. We often have this soup with homemade sandwiches. So warm the hearts of your loved ones with this popular healthy clear soup. Happy Fooding Around.

I am on the lookout for vegetable clear soups and came across your interesting website. My children don’t enjoy eating the vegetable in the clear soup. Would it be an option to use this recipe but simmer for about 20 minutes and then strain the vegetables out. Would this still have the nutrients of the vegetables in the soup. Value your inputs on this, thank you
