汤之魔术

Welcome to the original chinese soup recipes website where the love and magic of homemade chinese soups are shared from my website to your homes and kitchens.

Enhance the health-giving benefits of your meals by including some chinese healthy soups or add common chinese herbs into the soups.

Simply MAGICAL!

Many chinese restaurants serve wonderful luxurious chinese soups using expensive ingredients and elaborate cooking techniques. When they are served, they are both a feast for the eyes and for the stomach. A gastronomical experience indeed!

But magical moments with chinese soups happen in the humble home kitchen. Home-cooked, with simple ingredients, using simple cooking methods, using simple cooking utensils, served piping hot ... with love.

Why Create Homemade Chinese Soups?

Hi, my name is Phoebe and I live on a small tropical island republic in Southeast Asia called Singapore. There are many chinese living here, mostly descendants of immigrants from China.

I grew up with homemade soups at our dinner table. They were common sight and for many years chinese soups were just part of the meal, nothing special. I took what I know and enjoy for granted until I stayed abroad for a couple of years.

They have been my good friend: comforting me when I am sick or cold and pampering me when I have a tummy ache. I have even lost weight drinking chinese soups.

I am not an expert cook and I do not spend long hours in the kitchen nor do I want to. The chinese soups I make have to be easy and hassle-free.

My late grandma will shake her head by my minimalist cooking approach. What to do? I have been corrupted by modernity.

I know that many people are interested to make chinese food but are unfamiliar with the ingredients such as chinese vegetables, the preparation like how to thicken soup, and cooking methods. It would be a shame to let these stop people from enjoying chinese soups.

This is why I created this website. All that I know about homemade chinese soups I have attempted to record down here. I hope you will make use of the information here to prepare some nice chinese soups for your family, friends and most importantly, for yourself.
