The interaction of extreme opposites in Chinese philosophy is symbolized by yin and yang. Cooking did not disregard this principle, which is the basis of vegetable soup, in which a sharp and stinging yellow soup with chili pepper is indivisibly associated with a tender and creamy green soup of spinach and celery.
It’s very simple to make soup, and all that is needed for its original serving is a flat plate for soup and two jars with spouts for draining. You can pleasantly surprise your loved ones with the original hot soup, almost without spending time on it. After all, you see, you can always cook an ordinary cream soup in half an hour, and in this recipe you just need to simultaneously cook the soups in two small pans.
So, prepare a blender, two jugs, two pots, peel potatoes, onions, garlic, and you can start cooking philosophical soup.

Method of cooking vegetable soup in chicken broth “Yin-Yang”
Making spicy yellow soup. Fry the chopped onions and crushed garlic cloves in vegetable oil. Add chopped small potatoes.
Thinly chopped white cabbage, you can replace it with Peking cabbage, but take only light leaves. I usually add a thick part of Beijing cabbage leaves to soups, and leave greens for salad.
Add sharp notes of yellow soup. Finely chop the chilli peppers, put the ground, burning paprika, a pinch of turmeric and pour the hot chicken broth. Cooking soup for 20 minutes, salt.
Making a delicate green soup. Fry thinly sliced leek and finely chopped onions in vegetable oil.
Add the celery salad and potatoes, chopped finely, chopped across the stem.
For aroma we put dried curry leaves in green soup.
Pour the chicken broth, cook for 15 minutes, and add spinach about 5 minutes before readiness.
Grind ready yellow and green soup with an immersion blender to a thick puree. So that the soups do not turn out to be liquid, I advise you first to chop the vegetables and then add broth to them. Since if the soups are very liquid, it will be problematic to create “Yin-Yang” in the plate.
Now we take two jars with nozzles, pour soups into them. At the same time, from two hands, fill the plate. It is necessary to pour soups evenly, carefully monitor that one color does not prevail over the second.
Take a small spoon for desserts and gently put a drop of green soup on the yellow half, and a drop of yellow on the green. You can serve hot soup “Yin-Yang”, home-made fresh crisp bread fits well with it.
