ABC soup


A Chinese classic soup which its nutritious and comforting. It's probably one of the simplest to cook too. 

Ingredients

1 whole chicken (pork ribs can be added for more flavour), remove fat/skin and rub with salt

A pot of water

2-3 potatoes peeled and cut to chunks

1 large yellow onion roughly chopped

2 carrots peeled and cut to chunks

1 tomato sliced to 6 wedges

salt to taste

optional: 1 small white raddish or sweet corn cob


Instructions

Blanch pork ribs/chicken in boiling water for about 5 minutes and set aside.

Add water, blanched pork ribs and the rest of the ingredients (except salt) into a soup pot. 

Bring to a boil, then simmer over low fire for another 40 mins. Skim off oil when necessary, season to taste with salt. The flavour will set in an hour or so in small boil, enjoy the natural sweetness in the vegetables!
