Vegetarian hot and sour soup
ingredients
1 ounce. dried mixed mushrooms
8 cups of water
3 tablespoons of sherry cooking wine
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1-1 / 2 teaspoons of kosher salt
1 tablespoon of grated ginger
1 pound of extra firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
2 eggs, lightly beaten
6 spring onions, cleaned and thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Pure sesame oil for serving
Put the dried mushrooms in a bowl and cover with 2 cups of boiling water. Cover and let rest for at least 1/2 hour. While the mushrooms are reconstituting, prepare the other ingredients.
Remove the mushrooms from the hot water and save the liquid for the soup. Cut the mushrooms into thin slices.
In a soup pot, mix the remaining 6 cups of water with the retained liquid from the mushrooms and the sliced mushrooms. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Add the sherry, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, ginger and tofu. Reduce the heat and simmer without the lid for about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with about 3/4 cup of hot stock from the stockpot until the cornstarch has dissolved. Pour the mixture back into the stockpot and stir to distribute it. The soup should thicken a little. Drizzle the beaten eggs into the hot soup, stirring constantly. Add the green onions and white pepper and cook for a minute or two.
Serve hot with a dash of sesame oil on top.
Sweet pea and mint soup
ingredients
1 sachet of frozen sweet peas (16 oz)
1 medium shallot, diced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint
1 teaspoon olive oil
water
salt pepper
In a medium sauce pan, heat the olive oil on low / medium heat. Add shallots and ginger and fry for about 3 minutes.
Next add 3/4 of the bag of frozen peas and stir for 1 minute.

Note: If you're doing a cleanup and want to avoid salt, try without it. The soup has so much flavor on its own that you won't even miss it!
