Some pictures do not do the justice to the actual beauty of the dish, i.e., it’s flavors and textures. This is one such dish! One of my favorite soups from Indo-Chinese Cuisine.

How many of you remember drinking this soup outside the “nukkad” (corner) Chinese food vans? Sticky hot summers, P.G and boarding housing students on campuses, those Chinese vans were like saviors. Cheap food and filling food! We didn’t care about the “health” quotient then! Always hungry 😀.

 Manchow Soup is such a basic yet flavorful and aromatic soup that whenever I make it, a bowl is not enough. Another beauty of this soup is that it can be served as a starter and also, when thickened more, makes an awesome Indo-Chinese sauce base like that of Manchurian and hot & sour. A big bowl of it on a rainy day or a cozy evening of a cold winter, this suffices the moment and cravings!

This is how I made it!

Nothing better to enjoy a good bowl of Veg Manchow soup on Mealtless Monday !

  1. funny you doing meatless monday as you do meatless tuesday wednesday etc. too – my sister who currently lives in the UK commented on meatless monday because it was so strange – in Switzerland the general thinking is to have meat once or twice a week max… unless you are very very oldfashioned!

    1. I think it is kind of funny too but at the same time, being a vegetarian I bring a lot of insight to vegetarian cooking to the people who follow Meatless Monday Board! A healthier approach filled with variety is what people need who are willingly turning vegetarian these days.
      I guess that should be the normal rate of eating meat in all the countries like you mentioned as in Switzerland.

      1. agree – on meat eating, unfortunately the vegetarian countries are all going the other way, it’s strange that meat eating is seen as a sign of affluence and therefore desirable whereas we are moving the other direction due to health and ethics –
