Warm Veg Soup - go get that dehydrator!

I am excited about an idea. It is going to change our meals big time.

I had been craving warm soup when I chanced upon Sergei Boutenko's video where  he shredded all types of veg into teensy bits and dehydrated them. The assorted dehydrated flakes can be reconstituted into a soup by adding warm water and seasoning.

I made my own Asian version yesterday - I took out all the veg in my fridge and shredded them with my good ol' mandolin. Today, I had my first bowl of the veg soup and it was a burst of flavours and it tasted fresh fresh fresh.

Ingredients:
Agaricus subrufrescens (or song rong)
celery
lady's fingers
bitter gourd
carrots
mung sprouts
cabbage
loofah gourd
enoki mushrooms

One trick to make it into a self seasoning soup is to toss the mushrooms or all the ingredients in your favourite miso before dehydrating. I use an EZ Dri dehydrator from Tangs - not my dream excalibur but it does its work diligently and well.

Woohoo....just imagine, the variations I can come up with the soup and how well it can travel with me ...next time, I'll take it up the Himalayas. ;-)
