Long Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Using a large skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and pork; stir-fry until pork is no longer pink inside, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in ginger.
• Add chicken broth and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in onions and add noodles. Cook until noodles are tender, 2 to 4 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium high. Add pork and cabbage and stir fry until meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, and ginger. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add noodles and cook until tender, about 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in onions (they should curl) and serve.

Steps:

• Before you start cooking, take the dried shitake mushrooms and long rice noodles and place both in a bowl of warm water. Let these soak for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft.
• While these are soaking, brown ground pork, minced garlic, and garlic salt in a large pot on medium heat. Do not drain.
• Once pork is cooked, add the cans of chicken broth to the pot. Start with four cans and if you prefer your soup thinner add a few more. Keep in mind that the long rice will soak up some of the soup. Bring this to a boil before adding other ingredients.
• Take softened long rice noodles out of the warm water and add to the pork/chicken broth. Also take the softened shitake mushrooms and cut off the stems and slice into 1/4" strips and add to broth. Cover pot and cook on medium heat for another 30 minutes. Stir soup periodically during this time.
• Now add the water chestnuts and bamboo shoots into broth and cook another 10 minutes uncovered.
• Take the eggs and crack these directly into the broth and mix the broth quickly with a spoon. This will scramble the eggs into the soup.
• This is now the time to taste your broth and add salt and pepper to taste. Just keep in mind that the flavors get more intense the next day.

Steps:

• Place chicken, chicken broth, salt, and ginger into a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is tender and no longer pink, about 35 minutes. Remove chicken, and strain broth into a new pot. Discard the solids.
• Fill a bowl with hot tap water. Add the long rice noodles, and let sit for 30 minutes to soften.
• Stir onion into the broth, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Meanwhile, remove the skin and bones from the chicken and discard. Roughly chop the meat and set aside. Add the noodles, chicken meat, green onion and bok choy; simmer until noodles are tender.
• After the noodles have sat for 30 minutes, stir in the chicken meat, green onion, and bok choy. Reheat and serve.

Steps:

• Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain well., Meanwhile, toss pork with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and pepper. In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat; saute pork until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Remove from pot., In same pot, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; saute ginger and garlic until fragrant, 20-30 seconds. Stir in broth and remaining soy sauce; bring to a boil. Add celery and snow peas; return to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes. Stir in pork and coleslaw mix; cook just until cabbage begins to wilt. Add noodles; remove from heat. Top with green onions and, if desired, cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the stock in a large pan and add the lentils. Bring to the boil and allow the lentils to soften for a few minutes.
• Add the carrots and leeks and season (don't add salt if you use ham stock as it will make it too salty). Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 45-60 mins until the lentils have broken down. Scatter over the parsley and serve with buttered bread, if you like.
