Augmum:
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\".......
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.....

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.....

i read that too abt nan xing....
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.
and i heard that it's better to boil it uncovered, so that it can vaporise off.... :roll: :skeptical: -
