Quick Oyster Mushoom Soup
In Chinese cuisine, soup usually are less thick and more watery than some of the western soup dishes such as “Clam chowder”. Today, I am going to share with you the recipe of a really simple oyster mushroom soup. This dish can be made in less than 20 minutes and is a good choice for comfort food in a cold winter day.
Oyster mushroom is a common mushroom type that’s widely used by Chinese people to make dishes especially soups. I really like its mild taste and tender texture.
When handling the mushrooms after washing and trimming the ends, I used my hand to tear them into smaller pieces instead of using a knife. You will find that it is easier using hand than with a knife. You could easily find this mushroom in most of the Asian markets or even your local grocery store.


Below is a summary of how I made this dish with pictures.
I hope you enjoy making this quick oyster mushroom soup at home. If you like this recipe, please give a rating and share it with your friends!
