About this soup pack
A pre-measured mix of dried soup ingredients, portioned so one pack makes one pot and nothing is left over to go stale. Sold as listed above, freeze-dried, so it keeps its shape and snaps.
Also known as herbal soup pack, chinese soup ingredients, tang liao, soup mix.

What people use it for
Tipped into a pot with a litre or two of water and whatever meat is going in, then left to simmer. It is the reason people who never learned the herbs still cook soup.
How to prepare it
Rinse the pack, put it in 1.5 to 2 litres of water with pork ribs or chicken, bring to the boil then simmer 1 to 2 hours. Salt at the end.
Keeping it
Airtight and dry.
Questions people ask
How much water and how long?
One and a half to two litres, simmered one to two hours. Salt right at the end, not at the start.
Can I use it without meat?
Yes. It works as a vegetarian pot; the soup is lighter and usually wants a little more salt.
