When you want to cook a simple menu at home, clear vegetable soup is often the choice. Clear vegetable soup generally uses ingredients such as spinach, corn, pumpkin, and so on as the filling. As the name suggests, this vegetable soup is usually deliberately made clear, so that it is refreshing when eaten.
However, there are still many people who do not know the trick to making it, so the broth tends to be cloudy because of certain spices. On the other hand, there are also those whose broth becomes green because the chlorophyll from the spinach leaves fades. Well, to be able to make clear vegetables with clear broth, there are certain tricks that can be applied.
One of the TikTok account users @peachpatra shared this trick for cooking clear vegetable soup. Through her upload, the netizen who is familiarly called Syafira explained that this trick for cooking clear vegetable soup is not only effective in making the broth clear, but the aroma becomes more fragrant even though it only relies on a few spices.

Before getting into the trick, first prepare a pot of water to boil the clear vegetable soup. Heat the water on the stove over medium heat. Then, before the water boils, immediately add spices such as shallots and sliced ginger. The use of these two types of spices is the trick to keeping the clear vegetable soup clear. "It's called clear because there are only 2 types of spices," said the owner of the TikTok account @peachpatra, quoted by BrilioFood on Tuesday (20/8). After that, also add the clear vegetable filling that has a hard texture such as corn. This is because corn takes longer to cook than spinach or other vegetables.

When the water is boiling, then add additional spices. TikTok account owner @peachpatra only relies on sugar and salt so as not to affect the color of her clear vegetable soup. Then, stir briefly until all the spices dissolve in the broth. After the spices are evenly mixed, then add spinach, chayote, or other complementary vegetables. Yup, spinach must be added when the clear vegetable soup is almost cooked, so that the green color of the chlorophyll does not fade into the broth.
