hi micollhthanks 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.
yup, i do use honey dates for soup too....but depends on what type of soup....
for some soup, if added honey dates, would be too sweet in taste....
i like to add honey dates in watercress soup. -
micollh:
i use rock sugar (normal white type) for warm desert.
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.
ya, mutton soup do have some \"mutton smell\".......
what i do is to fry the mutton with some slices of ginger then add water to boil soup......
there are few types of mutton herbal soup.....
mine is the \"simplified version\".....(not those sold in hawker centres)
juz mutton with dried longan and wolfberries......u can try it out..... -
micollh:
oh.....that depends on my mood......haha
for the chicken soup, u chop up the chicken or whole chicken ? black chicken or normal chicken ?Augmum:
micollh,
as for huai shan, i ever tried using the fresh huai shan....
very bland in taste.....we dun like it... :skeptical:
for dried huai shan, i boil it together with dan sheng, bei qi, wolfberries and some red dates.....with chicken
a very tasty chicken herbal soup......
sometimes i chop the chicken into pieces,
sometimes , i juz put half chicken into it.....
i go for the bigger chickens , those weighing at least 1.8 kg to 2 kg
if i can get black chicken, i'll use black chicken for the soup, find it even tastier...
if not, normal big chicken will do too....

Hello Augmum, wow it's so interesting to boil mutton with dried longan and wolfberries. I've always linked mutton soup to Muslim soup and am surprised that we can add Chinese herbs... Hmm, I may try boiling this soup next week or so.ya, mutton soup do have some \"mutton smell\".......

micollh:
ya...i am also trying to explore more options for my soup menu.....
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..Augmum:
actually, most families in singapore boil the same few kinda of common soups......
though i try to vary, still not enuff variety.....
juz recently, i had boiled the black-eyed beans with chicken feet.....something diff .....
i learned this soup from my HK trip.....
it has been many years which i last boiled this soup....my gal said that she had never drink it b4...... :skeptical: :scratchhead: -
