Mmm. Yummy~ This is one of the many soups which I love since I was a little boy. Whenever my mum prepared this soup, she will definitely cook one large pot it because she could count on me to finish at least two large bowls!Although this recipe is meant for 7 persons, only 4 of us are enjoying it, and as usual there is no leftover except for the bone.

As a soup lover, I would recommend you to try this nutritious soup this weekend, and leave your feedback.
