What is a Hot Pot?

A hot pot is when you set up a pot of soup that simmers on the table. The diners then cook their vegetables, greens, and proteins as they wish in the simmering bowl. This comfortable meal is very common in Asian countries.The idea is sharing with friends and family food as well as time. A relaxed meal that is comforting, delicious and of course healthy. This hotpot is Vegan, Low-Calorie, Dairy-Free among other things.

Why is this soup not a Hot Pot?

• I have not set a portable stove with the broth simmering.
• We did not cook the ingredients at the pot. I did in the kitchen.
• We did not gather around the pot our mealtimes are staggered.

I cannot set up a Hot Pot what do I do?

• Like me, you cannot set up a portable stove for whatever reasons does not mean you cannot make this broth.
• I made a broth without mushrooms for my father-in-law.
• Sauteed the mushrooms separately and added it for hubby and me too!
• I did not want to stand in the kitchen to eat so I dished it out for us.

I have followed the recipe from here. Since we like heat in our food I made some delicious chilli oil from here.

Notes

•  I used spaghetti in place of noodles next time add the spaghetti to the stock and once it is done to my liking add the veggies. This way the veggies are a bit crunchy the way we like it. 
• Also, adding tofu or paneer will bring up the protein content I did not add any. Our proteins came from masoor salad that day.

I must say we loved the soup a lot. I had made regular lunch of dal, rice, chapati, sabzi etc. thinking of a backup plan in case this is not liked much. Needless to say I was left holding the backup and an empty pa of soup! A must make yet again!
