Authentic Chinese Yam Soup
This delicious soup is extremely healthy. First off all you use flavorful vegetables to make a bouillon and then you add the grilled yams and some nutmeg which goes well with both sweet and savory ingredients so is the perfect addition to a grilled yam recipe.
You might have seen other recipes for yam soup such as spicy yam soup or yam and meat soup but this one is vegetable rich and gets all its flavor from the ingredients used for the broth, from the nutmeg and of course from the deliciously juicy grilled yams. As far as yam soup recipes go, this one is healthy, flavorful and makes a wonderfully light appetizer.
