Special Feature: Nutritious Tonic Soups I


I know how hectic life can be for a full-time working mom, because I am one. We are constantly struggling in balancing our time between work and family. We want to excel in our career and at the same time trying to do our very best as a wife and a mother, to allocate time for our family. How many times you wanna cook a delicious and nutritious meal for your family, but ended up having to scrap the idea because you couldn't get back on time before dinner? Or, you simply do not have any idea where to start planning your menu?

Lately, I have been going through books and webpages to find out new recipes on soup. I have been boiling the same old soups all these years. It's time to have a revamp in my soup menu since Jeriel is fully on solid now. The first few years of life are extremely important to the growth and development of a kid. A child's diet in the first few years are of vital importance, as this is the crucial time when the foundations for future good health are laid. It matters for a lifetime.

This is going to be the first in this series of my soup recipes. I am going to first introduce the slightly time consuming 'simmered' soup (煲湯, 'bao tang') then it will be the 'boiled' soup (滾湯, 'gun tang') in my next feature. Since these soups are meant for busy working moms, even the so-called 'simmering', it shall not take more than 1 hour. I truly hope you will find these recipes useful. Have fun making soup!

Recipes coming soon.........

  1. Apple Seaweed & Pork Rib Soup
  2. Chicken & Mixed Vegetable Soup
  3. Apple & White Fungus Soup
