Chinese soup making technique:
Double boil soup

Homemade Chinese Soups Homepage / Double boil soup

double-boiler
To double-boil soup, a special ceramic soup pot known as the double-boiler is needed.

This chinese double boiler is different from the double boiler used to melt chocolate. This double-boiler has two covers; a small flatter inner cover and a bigger dome-shaped outer cover. More pictures and information about the chinese double-boiler at the chinese double boiler page.

Basically, all the prepared ingredients are placed in the double-boiler together with just enough water or soup stock to cover the ingredients. The 2 covers are then placed securely on the pot.

The double-boiler is then placed inside a big pot filled halfway with water. The double-boiler should only be half-submerged in the water. Cover the pot and heat the water in the pot on medium heat or just sufficient heat so that the water does not boil over.

The average cooking time for double boil soup is about 4 hours. Refrain from opening the double-boiler to check on the soup as this will bring down the temperature of the soup and affect the cooking.

With 2 covers, there should be minimum evaporation within the double boiler. And by placing the double boiler in water, it eliminates the chance of overheating ... unless the water outside the double boiler dries out. So, there shouldn't be any need to check on the soup during the 4 hours of cooking.

The Cantonese (people from Hong Kong and province of Guangzhou) love to double-boil their soups. They believe this will seal the nutrients and flavor of the ingredients in the soup.
