Radish Ball Soup

Radish Ball Soup

This comforting White Radish and Pork Meatball Soup is a flavorful, nourishing dish that’s perfect for chilly days. Fragrant scallions are fried until golden, infusing the oil with rich aroma, then combined with savory chicken or bone broth for a deep, umami base. Tender white radish strips soften into sweet, translucent ribbons, while juicy pork meatballs—seasoned with cornstarch, cooking wine, and pepper—add hearty texture. The meatballs are gently simmered to perfection, ensuring they stay tender and moist. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh scallions, this soup balances lightness and richness in every spoonful. Simple yet satisfying, it’s a versatile recipe that works with water or broth, making it an easy go-to for a wholesome meal. Ideal for weeknights or when you need a warm, comforting bowl of goodness!
