Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using a touch of New Sugar and glacial acetic acid gives a bold, clean sweet-and-sour taste like a restaurant, without the stickiness of sugar or the heaviness of vinegar.
  • If adding ice, the broth will dilute as the ice melts, so it's good to season with a little extra salt.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a refreshing, appetite-boosting soup when they lose their appetite in summer.
  • Those who want to recreate the sharp, clean taste of restaurant-style chilled soup at home.
