^ yes you can, but I have not tried using a crockpot personally for this, I think it will lack flavour a little compared to the slow boiling on a pot but if it's convenience you're going for, it should be fine, do check how long it will take too on your crock pot, I used to boil red bean soups in crock pots and I let it boil overnight. hope that helps!

Can we use crock pot to make these soups?

I’m so happy to have tried this recipe, it tastes really yummy. This soup brought back a lot of good memories of my grandmother’s cooking. In the past, I’ve tried cooking it and didn’t yield the same flavor and now I know why, because of the missing cuttlefish. It adds grood flavoring to the soup. Thank you so much for sharing. I love this soup and I’m ready to make it again.

PPC - thanks! ECV - thanks!

Hi Erik, firstly, thanks for dropping by and welcome!

on a good beginner soup with quite mild flavours but still very Asian, would be Asian mixed vegetables soup - this soup does not require dried cuttlefish which I noticed is not exactly very popular with most western palates :)

I have to admit that I have stuck with mainly western soup recipes, only because of my lack of familiarity with all of the Asian varieties (and I know there are so many!)
I might try this one, but I think I will search your blog for a good "beginner" soup. Got any suggestions?
