PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain instant soup products of high commodity value in which the ingredients themselves do not absorb the seasoning solution and give the ingredients of good taste by admixing a specific amount of thickener to the ingredients for MISO soup or the like and treating them under specific conditions. SOLUTION: Individual or the whole of ingredients for MISO soup or western style soup are treated with heat, then homogeneously mixed whereby 100 pts.wt. of the ingredients are mixed with 20-100 pts.wt. of a thickener. Before or after the mixed ingredients are automatically charged in plastic frame vessels, the vessel is filled with a prescribed amount of preliminarily prepared concentrate of MISO soup or western style soup, the filled vessels are frozen, as they are, to remove moisture under the vacuum until they are freeze-dried. In a preferred embodiment, the solution containing a thickener contains <=5% of dextrin, <=8% of starch, <=5% of gelatin, <=2% of xanthan gum, <=3% of guaiac gum and <=10% of pectin. |
