Asian Style Soup

We just finished eating our lunch and it was so very yummy. Great for filling bellies and soothing the sick. And if you are sick, put in more garlic and ginger to nip it in the bud.

Asian Style Soup

1/2 of one onion chopped
1-2 ribs celery chopped
2 carrots cut into coins
1/2 a rutabaga chopped small
1 cup chopped leeks
3 cup chicken stock
1 tbsp seaweed
Salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic chopped fine
1 tbsp fresh ginger
1 tbsp olive oil
Soya sauce
Sesame oil
Parsley
Green or red onion

Heat a fry pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Sauté the onion, celery and carrots for about 5 minutes adding water as needed to keep things from burning.

Add in the rutabaga and cook another 2 minutes.

Next, put in the garlic and cook another 30 seconds. Pour in the stock. Add the yummy leeks and the seaweed. I chopped my ginger and put it in my large tea strainer thingy because the ginger was quite old and tough.

Asian soup

Add salt, pepper and soya sauce to taste. Bring to a boil then turn it down to simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Ladle into bowls and top with green or red onion, parley and a few drops of sesame oil. Love sesame oil!

And to switch it up...
*Add some red pepper as a garnish.
*Use homemade stock.

*Add some more Asian flavors.
*Squeeze of lemon or lime at the end.
