I rarely cook this soup as the arrowroot sold in my local supermarket is quite big in size (1kg) and the price per kg is quite high. That makes it really expensive. Piglet is not a fan of the soup and the arrowroot itself so I end up throwing the arrowroot.
The arrowroot sweetens the soup and makes it tasty. It can be quite fibrous. I used to buy it in Glasgow when I make my 2 monthly shopping trip to the Chinese supermarket.
Arrowroot can be added in lotus root peanut soup. Other ingredients to add to this soup are: carrots, other root vegetables, peanuts…
