Very simple ABC soup

Cooking soup could be really easy and no fuss. I cooked ABC soup today.

Here are the ingredient I use:

Carrot

Potato

Tomato

Onion

Groundnut (Optional)

Meat pieces (either pork ribs or chicken, I normally use chicken meat)

Method:

1. Cut the carrot, tomato and onions into pieces (don't cut too small). Put them into the slow cooker together with some water. If you like groundnut you can add the groundnuts in. Let it cook for about 4 hours.

2. Put in the chicken meat. Let it cook for another 1/2 hour or so.

3. Cut the potato into half and put them into the soup. Continue to cook for a further one hour or so or until the potato is soft.

4. Taste the soup first before you add any salt. The soup tasted really sweet in its original taste so the amount of salt to put in is up to you.

My daughter like to add mee suah to her soup or you can also add beehoon if you like. I prefer mine without any noodles but with lots of groundnuts.

And so that is our dinner, simple yet healthy.

Tau pok and golden needles soup

I always use the slow cooker to cook soup. It is really easy and simple. I cooked tau pok and golden needles (dried lily bud) soup today.

The picture below are the ingredients:

some groundnuts

some golden needles (put 2 together and type a knot)

some tau pok

some chicken pieces

The method:

1. put some water in the slow cooker

2. throw in the groundnuts and golden needles and just let it boil in the slow cooker. I left it boiled over 4 hours

3. Then put in the tau pok and chicken pieces

4. The soup is ready when the chicken pieces are cooked. It take about 1 hours. Try the soup first before you add any salt then add the salt according to your preference.

Gimchi soup

I cooked a pot of gimchi soup for dinner tonight. It was too much for just the 2 of us.
This is my first time cooking gimchi soup and I have not look up the recipe for it so I am not sure if what I did is correct or not but anyway the soup was tasty.



Below is what I have in my gimchi soup:
some meat
some bean sprouts
some enoki mushrooms
some scallions
some tofu
last but not least some gimchi and 3-4 tbsp of chilli paste

I arranged the meat, bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms and scallions in the pot first. Then I poured some hot water over it and let it boil over the stove. When it boiled, I put the gimchi and chilli paste in. I put the tofu in last, close the cover and let it boil for a few minutes and it is done.

Very easily done and does not mess up the kitchen.
