What Do You Need For Clear Soup?

As mentioned above you really do not need any special ingredient or exotic ones to make veg clear soup. All you need are vegetables, salt, black pepper powder, olive oil and bit of soy sauce.

Soy sauce is an optional ingredient here. I once tasted this clear soup drizzled with light soy sauce in some restaurant and liked it, so I add a dash of it in my recipe.

Usually button mushrooms are added in clear vegetable soup for umami. If you want to avoid soy sauce you can add some chopped mushrooms or even 1 teaspoon mushroom sauce. Here is the breakdown of ingredients for making vegetable clear soup.

Vegetables– I like to add as much vegetables as possible as they add so much flavor in this soup. I usually add carrots, cabbage, celery, French beans, sweet corns. Make sure the veggies are finely chopped for quick cooking.

Olive oil- I like to use light olive oil in this recipe more than butter or any vegetable oil. It lends a wonderful mild flavor without overpowering the flavor of veggies.

Spring onions– along with celery some spring onions are also added in this soup for that authentic Chinese flavor. I add both the greens and white stalks of spring onion for maximum flavor.

Soy sauce- an optional ingredient that I usually add in my veg clear soup recipe for umami flavor.

Salt and pepper– to taste. Use freshly cracked black pepper powder for maximum flavor. For milder heat use white peppercorns.
