Shiok Soup Recipes
The weather is unpredictable these days. With the exception of some sibei hot days, the monsoon season has also brought about many chilly ones days that call for some warm and comforting food.
Just like how snuggling under blankets sounds like the perfect solution to a cold day, a bowl of warm soup might just be the blanket for our tummies. If you find it difficult to whip up a mean bowl of soup on your own, come join us with 6 soup recipes that will have you feeling shiok all over.
1. Hot & Sour Tofu Soup
A hot (pun intended) household favourite, the Hot & Sour Tofu Soup is the perfect companion for your family dinners/reunions even better if you love a good kick of spice in your system!
To get the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and tofu to be the perfect size for slurping, be warned that there is some shredding to do! That said, after all that hard work, this deeply flavourful and wickedly savoury dish is bound to satisfy any type of palate. Dont forget to add some cornstarch in your soup for that gao (thick) texture it brings the dining experience up a notch!

Preparation Time: 30 minutes. Serves 6.
2. Watercress and Pork Ribs Soup
If youre looking for a healthy soup thats packed with antioxidants, this is the one for you. Not only is the peppery taste super shiok to eat while it rains, but it also has cooling properties so you dont get too heaty.
Our method of boiling the soup extracts earthy flavours of the watercress without the bitterness from overcooking them, by adding the stems at the beginning and the tender shoots and leaves at the end. The red dates and wolfberries balances the soup with sweetness, and dont forget dried scallops to add an extra depth of flavour.

Elevate your meal with this delicious concoction, versatile for all occasions be it a simple family dinner, or when you have guests over. Once again, the soup texture is important here; remember, slow and steady wins the game.
