Manchow soup, it’s an Indo-Chinese soup that is hot and spicy made of vegetables. In this soup, you can choose the vegetables you want in your soup. Here in our recipe, we have incorporate cabbage which gives an excellent crunch to taste bud. We have used carrots to give color and little sweetness to the soup. Nowadays we are talking a lot about proteins so we have added a good quantity of tofu to it. Many people don’t eat mushrooms so if you want to avoid mushrooms you can avoid them. If you see in restaurant hey people serve soup very thick but personally, we don’t prefer the soup should be so thick, so we have taken corn flour very little, it will not make you soup so thick but will give a smooth texture to your soup, but in case you want thick soup you can add little more corn flour to the soup. We always prefer to use fresh vegetable stock, because it gives your soup a very delicious flavor, but in case you are in hurry and you don’t have vegetable stock in hand you can use stock cubes also. For vegetable stock, we are adding our recipe link here.
