Remember my post on Mushroom Chicken Soup? I saw some fresh Agrocybe Aegerita (茶树菇) in our local supermarket so I bought a packet. I didn't realise this was 茶树菇 as it is labelled as "Willy Mushroom" until I took a closer look at the chinese words. They are always on the shelves, just that I didn't pay much attention to unfamiliar things/objects around me.
I stumbled upon The Chinese Soup Lady.com and saw this recipe with 茶树菇 and since I've got all ingredients on hand, I decided to give it a try. It has a mild sweet taste and the kids love it :-)

ReplyDeleteHB,
ReplyDeleteMy son loves chayote soup very much. I shall try your recipe and see if he likes it. This soup must be a very sweet soup. I will like it for sure. Corn and chayote will never go wrong! Thanks for sharing.

Ooooh...I love this type of clear soup. I always like to add sweet corn to soup. It gives such a beautiful natural sweetness.
ReplyDeleteOh, I must try this one day.
ReplyDeleteChayotes are very sweet, and I love them.
It'll be a new recipe for me to use with as I only used chayotes for stir fries.
Thanks!
Your soup looks very yummy. Maybe I should cook for my family. Thanks for sharing variety of soup in your blog.
ReplyDeleteGrace, thanks! Being a sahm, I have to do what I'm needed to do ie to take care of the family and their stomachs. I'm not a good cook, still learning along the way.
ReplyDeleteHoney boy, one blogger mentioned that she has allergic reaction towards this mushroom so do take note.
MaryMoh, my kids love sweet corns too! I'll never go wrong with it.
Wendy, I prefer chayote in stir fries too as I can taste the natural sweetness. When it goes into the soup, they all taste alike - mushy!
DG, I'm starting to cook more dishes and soup for my family now. Will be posting more soup recipes ;-)
Just posted this today :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the recipe!
Wendy, glad you like it :)
