Questions about Soup pearls
What are soup pearls?
Soup pearls are small, crisp pieces of fried or baked dough, usually made from flour and fat. They are added to soup just before serving so they stay crunchy.
How do you use soup pearls?
Sprinkle a small handful over each bowl immediately before eating. Stirring them in early makes them soften quickly.
Can you make soup pearls at home?
Yes. Mix flour with egg and a little water into a firm dough, roll it very thin, cut it into tiny squares and fry them in hot oil until golden; drain well and cool before adding to soup.
Which soups go well with soup pearls?
Their crisp texture works especially well in clear broths, consommé and vegetable soup. They are also used as a garnish for some creamy soups.
How should you store soup pearls?
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from steam and moisture. Once opened, seal the pack promptly to help them stay crisp.
Can you eat soup pearls without putting them in soup?
Yes. They can be eaten as a crunchy snack or sprinkled over salads, but their mild flavour is designed to complement savoury dishes.
Are soup pearls suitable for people avoiding gluten?
Usually not: they are commonly made with wheat flour. Check the ingredient list, as recipes vary and some products may use other flours.
Are soup pearls high in fibre?
A 100 g portion provides 5.2 g of fibre. They are usually eaten as a small garnish rather than in portions that large.
