Manchow soup

Simple street-side Indian Chinese eatery version of Chicken Manchow Soup

Manchow soup is a soup popular in Indian Chinese cuisine due to its ease of preparation and hot spicy taste. It is available in large restaurants and street food carts alike. Although the soup is named for Manchuria, the soup does not resemble any that is normally found in the cuisines of the region.

It is a dark brown soup prepared with various vegetables, scallions, and chicken (in the non-vegetarian version only), thickened with stock and corn flour, and flavored with relatively generous doses of soy sauce, salt, garlic and chili peppers. It may also be garnished with chopped scallions.
