Soup, glorious soup...

NO MSG…that’s difficult to find unless you’re dining at fine Chinese restaurants. There’s a chain called "lau huo tang" popping up at various food courts, very popular. Never tried. Even if some say "no MSG", indirectly they could have added through other sources like chicken essence powder.

anyone knows any place that sells good soup without msg and all that?

if u wanna good soup, best is to boil yrself....anyway, boiling soup is rather easy task.
most soups sold outside, either they are heavily stuffed with msg (in order to taste good)
or they are simply plain like plainwater.....not to my liking.

Hi Augmum, from your posts, I believe you must be very good at cooking.

hi sall,
thanks for yr compliments :oops: :oops:
i am still learning.
when i dine out, if there's a chance to interact with the chefs,( esp dishes which i found them good)
i'll take the opportunity to ask them this and that......
sometimes, when they are kind, i do get an answer from them......hehe

i find cooking soup daily with chicken/pork bones/ribs may cause us drinking in the oil from these meat… besides pear soup/corn soup with carrots/onions… any other vegetable soups that u can share without the meat pieces ? thanks.

I mix burdoch, radish and fresh mushroom, all throw in and boil. Mushroom normally goes in last, depending on how soft you want it and what type you are using. No meat used in this soup. Sometimes I add carrots.
