NOTES: * Bamboo shoot, pork and mushroom soup -- I worked out this recipe in an attempt to duplicate the Mandarin Soup served at the Peking Royal Kitchen in Pittsburgh. My friends all agree that it is a good replica; some prefer my version to the "real thing." * The quality of the chicken stock makes a huge difference in a recipe like this. Use fresh stock if you can, or buy the best grade of canned chicken stock you can find. : Difficulty: easy. : Time: 20 minutes waiting and 20 minutes preparing. : Precision: Measure spices and seasonings. : Elaine Rich : Microelectronics Computer Corporation, Austin, Texas : HI.Rich@MCC.ARPA : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
