SZECHUAN VEGETABLE SOUP

Most of the recipes I am sharing here these days are getting simpler and easier.  The main reason being I am really occupied with many activities  and commitments but still prefer home-cooked food then eating out.

This is an easy, simple and homey type of soup.  I believe even a novice cook can prepare this soup because it is really easy.  You can boil it in a soup pot or even in a slow cooker.

Just a few basic steps and you can get to enjoy a fragrant, savoury,  tasty and boiling hot soup in the comfort of your home.
