I was introduced to soup as a child and I just love soup and couldn't get enough of them! And now having a family of my own, my children also love soup; any variety of soup, be it chicken soup, herbal soup, vegetable soup, etc.
Chinese soup is easy to prepare. Last Mid-autumn Festival family gathering dinner, I prepared a simple Chicken and Sweet Corn Soup for the reunion dinner (my mum, 3rd and 5th younger sisters' families and mine).
All you need is :-
- 1 whole chicken (washed and cut into chunks. Scalded)
- 4 ears of corn (washed and cut into chunks)
- 3 medium sized carrot (washed and cut into chunks)
