Veg manchow soup recipe with step by step photos.Veg manchow soup is a popular soup, here is the recipe for making it the indo chinese way.
Veg manchow soup is one of the very popular soups in restaurants.It is made with mixed vegetables as base and cornflour as thickening agent.It is a clear soup served with a generous dose of fried noodles as they serve in restaurants.
I am not a big fan of clear soup recipes but hubby enjoyed it thoroughly as he loves all types of soups.I always limit myself with either tomato soup or sweet corn soup at restaurants and hubby always orders clear soups.You can skip fried noodles too but that’s how it is served in restaurants so wanted to replicate it at home too.
