ABC Soup
ABC 汤



This is a very common and simple soup. It’s the very first soup I make. Everyone has his or her version of the ABC soup. The ingredients defers slightly. This is my version.

Ingredients:
  • 4 to 5 pieces of pork ribs; blanched
  • 1 medium sized potatoes; skinned and cut in big pieces
  • 1 carrot; skinned and cut in big pieces
  • 1 large onion; cut in quarters
  • 1 celery; sliced
  • 2 ear of corn; chopped into 8 pieces
  • Salt to taste
How to do it:
  1. In a pot, bring water to boil.
  2. Add pork ribs and vegetables.
  3. When it starts to boil, lower the fire and let it simmer for 3 hours or longer.
  4. Add salt to taste.
  5. Serve.
Note:
You can use chicken too. Add tomatoes at the last ½ hour of simmering if you wish.

  8. Ying,
    They are just hanging around - vertically. No specific place. You may want to try Daiso. They have lots of nice Cookie Cutters too.
