SeolleongtangĀ is a Korean milky Ox bone soup that’s made by boiling down ox leg bones for several hours until the broth becomes rich and creamy white.It’s quite time consuming, but a yummy flavor when all is said and done.
Ingredients:
Our next kitchen was Filipino! Pork Sinigang is a delicious Filipino sour soup dish. The soup is made from any cut of pork along tomato, string beans, spinach, and tamarind. Some of the ingredients like water spinach, egg plant, daikon radish, string beans and okra were quite interesting and it is a very tasty meal. Not one I will go back to if I am honest. The textures were not for me!
Ingredients:
After Malaysia we ended up in India where Mulligatawny Soup was the order of the day. Mulligatawny soup means “pepper water,” and curry is the particular ingredient that gives this incredible dish such a delicious flavor. We love Indian food, so it was wonderful to add this soup to our repertoire!
Ingredients:
Next we ended up in Malaysia where Laksa is the soup of choice. Oh my, talk about delicious!
Ingredients:
These are the fixings for Laksa
After China we ended up in Turkey. I had never heard of Kirmizi Mercimek Corbasi. It’s a soup made with red lentils and finished with olive oil steeped Aleppo pepper with roasted garlic. It’s quite yummy.
Ingredients:
The color in the pot was amazing!
After France our randomizer landed in China where Hot and Sour soup was our choice. It is actually a wonderful soup that uses ingredients that are quite different from soups in the west. Tofu, bamboo shoots and mushrooms including tree ears etc. The “hot” part is largely due to white pepper. That was a surprize. It is super delicious though.
Ingredients:
After Borscht and Chlodnik, we needed something different and luckily our randomizer landed on France! French Onion Soup is one of my very favorites! I just love it.
Ingredients:
Next we went to Poland for Chlodnik. This is a soup that can be served hot or cold, and we chose cold. It’s basically a beet soup that carries that sourness that is so moreish.
Ingredients:
Borscht is another great tasty sour soup, and one that I remember from my childhood. Super delicious dish from Ukraine.
Ingredients:
Avgolemono is probably the easiest, tastiest and most delicious soup we made. It’s a classic Greek soup that everybody should have in their wheelhouse. A real pleasant egg lemon flavor profile that just goes on. It’s the best version of chicken soup we found.
