Typical of clear soups served at family meals, this one combines two ordinary ingredients in a quick and easy way.

1 daikon or Chinese icide radish (about ½ pound)
4 cups Chinese chicken borth (page 64) plus 1 teaspoon salt or
1 (13 ¾ -ounce) can chicken broth and enough water to make 4 cups
2 slices unpeeled gingerroot, 1 X 1/8 inch each
½ pound firm tofu (bean curd), drained and cut into slivers
Salt to taste

1. Trim away the ends of the daikon, pare, and shred through the large holes of a box grater. Squeeze the shreds in your hands to remove the excess water. You should have about 1 cup. Set aside.
2. Combine the broth and gingerroot in a medium saucepan and place over medium-high heat. When the liquid comes to a boil, add the daikon and simmer for 15 minutes, or until it turns translucent.
3. Add the tofu and stir gently until the broth returns to a boil. Taste for salt. Serve hot.
