Soup Week

Ok, it's been a long last week

The good kind of long week

So, I've been spending my time cooking soup

If you have experience in cooking soup,

You'll know how much time you need to spend to cook a pot

To actually let the flavors come through

So, you can say that I'm pretty free to have cooked so much soup in a week

1. 雪耳润肺汤

It's a nourishing herbal soup

For cooling down the heat in your body and (for ladies) good for your skin

This soup is found at Chinese herbal shop near my uni

This is how it looks like after cooked:

It's enough for 2 but there's only me

So, I split it into 2 portions and ate the rest with plain rice

2. Red Bean soup

Pretty simple red bean soup

Ingredients: red bean. sugar and water

Boil them together until the beans are soft.

And it's ready to be eaten.

This is a dessert for typical Chinese meal

So, it's not my lunch or dinner

Just dessert.

3. ABC Soup

It's a typical Chinese soup

I don't know why is it called ABC soup

The ingredients used are: tomatoes, carrot, corn, potatoes 

(sorry, the potatoes' not visible >.<)

This soup actually tasted sweet

Thanks to the sweetness of the corn

The tomatoes also help with the flavoring

It's a pretty wholesome meal I guess

Eating the whole pot makes me pretty full

4. 六味汤

This is also a herbal soup with the similar function as (1) above.

This is found at a different Chinese herbal shop near my uni

5. Knor's Tiger Lily and Mushroom Soup

Now this is just an instant soup

It doesn't require much time to cook

But.....

 I screwed up when putting in the beaten egg in the soup

So it looks like shit

However, it is still edible

6. Random Herbal Soup

(Similar to 1. I guess)

This is also found at a different Chinese herbal shop near my uni

I put way too less water in it

So the barley soaked up most of the water

Lesson learned, I'll improve next time....
