Chicken Manchow Soup Recipe
Chicken Manchow Soup is a popular Indo-Chinese dish that is known for its bold and tangy flavors. It is a spicy, savory soup that is made with a blend of vegetables, chicken, and a special blend of spices. The soup is thickened with cornstarch and has a velvety, smooth texture that makes it both comforting and satisfying.The base of the soup is made by simmering a blend of aromatic spices, such as ginger, garlic, and green chilies, in a chicken broth. To this, tender chunks of chicken, and a mix of colorful and crunchy vegetables are added, such as carrots, cabbage, and mushrooms. The soup is then finished with a splash of soy sauce and vinegar, which gives it its signature tangy flavor.

Notes & Tips
Vegetables: Always use fresh vegetables for making soups as they give your recipe extra freshness and nutrients.
Can use pre-made stock? Yes, you can use pre-made stock but I recommend don't use any pre - made stock. Let the vegetables simmer in the boiling water with spices. Soup will become tastier. Try once to see the difference!
Spiciness: You can increase or decrease the spiciness of your soup recipe by adding more red chilli powder or black pepper powder.
Cornflour: Cornflour thickens the soup, but you can skip it totally if you don’t want to add cornflour.
Serving: Always serve soup hot. You can serve Soup with Garlic Bread or any other Herb bread
