The Big Green Egg is an excellent way of roasting vegetables for a really hearty soup. Add a little spice to the soup and you have something really special.
The taste of this Asian inspired soup benefits from being cooked on the Egg, taking on a slight smokey flavour. You can adjust the amount of spice in this soup to suit your own pallet.
