u're :welcome: .....
think kids would prefer the warm desert soup more.....

yes, i thk so too. we boil soup on weekdays, when i ask DD to take her soup, now my DD will ask me, \"today is what soup ? melon ? lotus root?\" haa.. opps.. cos quite frequently boil those, so must change a bit..

actually, most families in singapore boil the same few kinda of common soups......
though i try to vary, still not enuff variety.....

Try to add in some dried longan (桂圆肉). Makes it even more yummy!! Can use 桂圆肉 for your white fungus soup too.

but will remove red dates then, my family find it too heaty .....

talking abt dried longan, it goes well with mutton soup.....

[micollh]

thanks mummy !! i seldom add dried longan too, as my mum also said drink too often will be heaty. once awhile is ok, for the sweetness. can use honey dates instead.


Aks u all, if u boil green bean soup, what type of sugar u use? my mum said use the honey rock sugar (brown colour, looks like bee hives) is better, it can help to sooth sore throat. Do you use this rock sugar too ?

[micollh]

Augmum, i have never make mutton siup before… no confidence. later got the smell which i cannot take it. mutton always eat with curry/rendang to cover the smell.

yeah lor.. how often can we change.. but i feel if we make a list on first, it's easier to have different soup.. hee.. different soups is better so that the kids can get different nutrients..

my contribution…


1) old melon with pork ribs, red dates and wu mei duo
2) fuo shou gua with pork ribs, honey dates, china barley and nan xing bei xing
3) watercress with pork ribs, red dates, nan xing bei xing

bxmum22 thanks for sharing… fuo shou gua can make soup also ? i always stir fry like turnip… hee… thanks… one more thing learnt. by the way, nan xing dun put too much into soup … i read from a mummy’s blog, nan xing contains some "du su" poisonous substance… so dun take too much, one small tea spoon. but i ask the chinese medicine shop, they told me, is ok, unless u take large amount daily then will have side effect. but i still cautious as the soup boiled also drink by kids.
