Manchow soup is a yummy and popular soup that comes from a special mix of Indian Chinese cuisine! People love it because it's easy to make and has a warm, spicy kick. You can find it in many restaurants and even at street food carts in India.
Even though it's called "Manchow," which sounds like Manchuria (a place in China), this soup isn't actually from there. It's a unique creation that started in Meghalaya, a state in India.
What's in Manchow Soup?
This delicious soup is usually dark brown. It's made with lots of different vegetables and scallions (also known as spring onions). Sometimes, people add chicken to make it a non-vegetarian version.
To make it thick and hearty, chefs add broth and a little bit of corn flour. The amazing taste comes from generous amounts of soy sauce, salt, garlic, chili peppers, and especially ginger.
How It's Served
Manchow soup is always served hot, which is perfect for its spicy flavor! Before serving, it's often topped with fresh, chopped spring onions. A super fun part of eating Manchow soup is that it usually comes with crispy, fried noodles on the side. You can crush these noodles and sprinkle them into your soup for an extra crunch!
