This fish-apple soup may sound like an acquired taste, but we assure you, it’s a delectable and filling meal after a nice long hike through the lush green mountains of Pandaria. A word of warning, though: Never touch a hozen’s Yu-Ping Soup!
8 cups chicken broth
1 cup apple cider
1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 cup barley
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 parsnip, peeled and chopped
About 1/2 cup cooked chicken meat (optional)
6 dried dates, halved
6 dried figs, halved
2 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into eighths
2 tablespoons goji berries
1/2 pound white fish, cut into small chunks
1 tablespoon Ancient Pandaren Spices
1. Combine the broth, cider, vinegar, ginger, barley, and vegetables in a medium pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the veggies have begun to soften. Add remaining ingredients, cook for another 10 minutes until the fish is cooked through, then remove from heat. Serve hot, straight away.
COOK’S NOTE: While this soup is still flavorful the next day, many of the ingredients will not hold their shapes, so it is best enjoyed the same day.
