Manchow Soup

Hie everyone, 

Hope you all are enjoying the winter. It is an excellent time to get cozy and have some Chinese soup. Manchow soup is one of the most famous Indo-Chinese recipes. It is always delicious and the best soup starter for an Indo-Chinese dinner. Back in India, whenever I catch a cold, I always crave this soup as it soothes my throat and brings warmth. We always enjoy this soup with Noodles or Manchurian. Hope you all will enjoy it too.
