Why by secretive when you can be clear?
Clear soups can seem very inaccessible because most of us are not used to cooking with these ingredients on a regular basis. However, if you look closely, all of these ingredients can be found on the shelf of any grocery shop. I happened upon this recipe for making clear rice noodle soup in the Balance magazine and I have loved it since then. I have made few alterations to the recipe but I make it pretty regularly during winter months. I hope you will give it a try!
