Mung Bean Soup

This bean soup is filling, warms you on the inside and the squeeze of lemon gives it a clean finish. Serve warm or cold.

  • Serves 6
  • Easy

Directions

Created by my dear friend Niduk, the recipe is so easy to make that she gave me over-the-phone instructions and the result was amazing.

Soak and cook the mung beans before leaving for work. Cook them up when you get home. Add in the stock, garlic and spices; bring to a quick boil and then puree. Squeeze in a lemon to finish the flavour profile and top with a light sprinkle of chili flakes. Bon appetite!
