    Chicken Manchow Soup

    This soup was in my mind ever since I had it one of the restaurant which we went recently. That was the first time I heard and tasted this yummy goodness. It was spicy at the same time it has lots of flavours in it. The whole soup was finished with a crispy

    noodle topping which really made it. I wanted to recreate this soup and post it
    here.So I made this one night and had it with grilled chicken sandwich and baked chicken nuggets. They were delicious.

    About this Recipe

    Manchow soup is a popular soup in Indian Chinese cuisine because of its ease of preparation and hot spicy flavour. Its available in a variety of restaurants and street food carts. Although the soup is named after Manchuria, it bears no resemblance to the cuisine of the region. Manchow soup originated in Meghalaya.

    Its a dark brown soup made with a variety of vegetables, scallions, and chicken, thickened with broth and corn flour, and seasoned with soy sauce, salt, garlic, chilli peppers, and, most notably, ginger. It could be vegetarian or non-vegetarian. It comes with crispy fried noodles and is topped with chopped spring onions.

    One of the most popular chicken soups in Chinese cuisine is Chicken Manchow soup. Stir-fried vegetables, broth, sauces, shredded chicken, and eggs are used to make this dish.

    Who invented Manchow soup?

    No one knows the full origin story, and the manchow soup remains a delicious mystery. For all we know, it could have been made by someone who accidentally fried noodles while preparing a steaming bowl of it and decided to drink the mixture of spiced vegetables in water as soup rather than discarding it.

    Ingredients for Chicken Manchow Soup

    Ginger:
    Fresh ginger has a slightly peppery and sweet flavour, as well as a pungent and spicy aroma. Fresh ginger, like garlic, softens with cooking. Its a common flavouring in Asian dishes. Salad dressings, baked goods, soups, curries, meats, and desserts like
    gingerbread and gingersnaps are all flavoured with ground ginger.

    Garlic :
    Garlic has a distinct, pungent flavour that, when raw, borders on spicy and, when cooked, borders on nutty. Sulfur compounds, such as diallyl disulfide, contribute to the mustard-like flavour profile. It loses its acrid raw flavour when dried and crushed into garlic powder, making it ideal for seasoning dishes.

    Spring Onion :

    Spring onions are very young onions that have been harvested before the bulb has had a chance to swell. The long, slender green tops and small white bulb are both edible and can be eaten raw or cooked.
