Hot and Sour Soup (Potage PƩkinois) - Chinese Soup with Chicken, Black Mushrooms and Bamboo Shoots

Hot and sour soup, which we call potage pĆ©kinois (“Peking soup”) in France, is one of the most popular Chinese soups in Chinese restaurants, along with wonton soup. It’s a thick, exotic broth that warms you up on cold evenings and can make a full meal on its own. I also like to serve it as a starter for a Chinese dinner, with spring rolls on the side and chicken with black mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

Brighton Soup - Creamy Carrot and Cheddar Soup

As soon as the weather starts to turn cooler, I always put a good soup on the menu at least once a week. Some people tend to find soups boring, but for us it’s just the opposite: we have a lot of fun here making them with every possible vegetable and cheese. Served with a few croutons, slices of toast, focaccia… A complete meal that the whole family loves. So here is a new soup to add to your list, Brighton soup. It’s a delicious soup with an English accent, made slightly creamy by the cheddar, which pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the carrots. A dairy, kosher recipe.
