fish ball soup

Asian dumpling soup

Fish ball soup is a broth-based soup containing fish balls—small round dumplings made from fish paste, typically white fish pounded smooth and shaped.

Common in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, it often includes noodles, vegetables, and garnishes: I ordered fish ball soup from the hawker stall.

The fish balls have a springy, bouncy texture prized in Cantonese and other regional cooking traditions.
