I may not be the best cook, but i love to make soup for my kids. It’s the easiest way to ensure they get sufficient fluid in their system and tastes good. Soups are nutritious and and time saving too. Watercress can be bought at the market. Wash it properly as it may contain a lot of sand. Shake off excess water and cut it up into smaller stalks. Add a few dates and some spare ribs or chicken, and you’ll end up with a good pot of nutritious soup for the whole family.
A tip for preparing the meat. Rub it with salt and leave for a few minutes. Rinse off and blanch with hot water to get rid of the weird raw taste. I hate that taste. You dont need to add salt when making soup as the meat would have absorbed the salt you rubbed it with earlier. Watercress soup is a very sweet soup and cooling too. Do eat the green as it’s high in fibre and helps relief constipation. And dont forget to remove the seed from the dates, ya. And yes, eat those too.
