crab meat

🥗Healthier: shredded chicken

Finely chop ginger and garlic, then add to the pot.

Add shredded carrots, sliced mushrooms, and peas to the pot.

7

Season with salt and white pepper to taste.

8

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry.

9

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the pot, stirring constantly until the soup thickens slightly.
