Oriental Chicken Soup

Oriental chicken soup adds a truly international flavor to complete our selection of chicken soups. Using ingredients such as fresh ginger and Hoisin sauce you are ensured the sweet and sour taste of Asia in your own dining room.

As I have said before, I believe that chicken and corn soups originate from Asia so no list of recipes is complete without an authentic Asian dish. This recipe serves that purpose as well as any other in my collection.

With oriental chicken soup you can prepare twice as much as you need because it will freeze for future use.
