This is what i saw lying on the kitchen floor first thing this morning. I asked my MIL what it is and she told me it’s Sang Lin Ngau. In English, it literally means “Wild Lotus Root”. Have you seen anything like this before? Believe you me, i’ve never. She told me it makes a good nourishing soup, especially beneficial to the elderly.
It’s all cut up and in the crockpot now. I can see that she’s added wolfberries, red dates and pork ribs to it. I hope the soup turns out sweet and the kids will drink it. I’d like to know what this is called. Please….. i need an answer desperately!!!!!

I wasnt feeling very well for the whole of last week. I guess i’ll just blame the weather for making the kids and i sick. No one felt like eating much also. But then, we still need our daily nutrition, right.
Soup is one of the best food to nourish a sick person. And so, we made a huge pot of ABC soup on Saturday. I even kept some inside the fridge. It’s Monday now, and it’s still inside the fridge, lol. We had another round of Lotus Root Soup last night.
Here’s Malcolm enjoying his favorite ABC soup. It’s great seeing my kid slurping his soup. He doesnt fancy rice and meat much, but he loves fish. That’s easy as we eat fish everyday. Mmmmmm…. sluuurrrrpppppp

I wonder who named this soup ABC Soup. But somehow, the name stuck. My MIL calls it Carrot Soup. To me, it’s Chinese Minestrone soup, lol. No matter what you call it, these are the main ingredients used when making a pot of delicious ABC Soup. It’s Malcolm’s favorite.
You just need tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, onions and some meat. Pork or chicken doesnt really matter. I just use whatever i find inside the fridge. You can add some ikan bilis to it if you like. But not too much as it can become quite salty. Crack some peppercorn in for added flavor. Clean all the vegetables properly and cut them up into smaller pieces. Rub the meat with salt and set aside for a few minutes.
Wash and par-boil the meat to remove the “meat smell” and scum. This will ensure a clear pot of soup everytime. Place everything into a pot and fill it with the quantity of water needed for your family’s consumption. Boil it on high. Turn the heat down and allow to simmer for a few hours. I normally simmer for around four hours.
And this is what you get. A great bowl of nutritious and comforting ABC soup that’s loved by all in the family.

Have you any idea just how hot the weather is these days? We get extreme heat for a few straight days, and then, it pours in the evening without fail. Ok, screw the weather. Let’s think of ways to cool the body down instead. The best way is to make sure we stay hydrated at all times. Drink lots of plain water, and cooling soups. Beverages like coffee and tea dehydrates the body. So, drink less of those, k.
We’re having a huge pot of organic green apples, carrots, corn with pork soup today. It’s very nutrituous and cooling. Great for weather like now. Malcolm will like this very much cos there’s carrots in it. Gordon will only want the soup to go with his noodle or rice. Me, i eat everything, lol. Dip the pork slices in Kikkoman Soy Sauce to go with the hot rice, yummy.
I’ve already mentioned all the ingredients needed to make this Green Apples soup. You can substitute the meat with chicken or pork ribs if you like. Though this soup’s main ingredient is Green Apples, it’s not sour at all. In fact, you’ll be surprised at how sweet it is. Go on, try it. Best to buy organic green apples as we’re leaving the skin on. It may just turn out to be your kids’ favorite soup.
