Here are some soup recipes you can try.
For all soups, remember to blanch the meat first to get rid of its oil and blood. Bring your pot of water to boil before you add the meat and herbs/vegetables. Simmer on high heat for 10 minutes (do not close the pot lid). After 10 minutes of rapid boiling, close the lid and lower heat so that your soup can simmer for 2 hours undisturbed. Lastly add salt for seasoning. Turn off heat and let soup mellow for 30 minutes before serving warm with rice.

Thank you for your work!!
Love your blog. How much water do you recommend for the soup recipes recently posted? Can I use broth like beef or chicken, or is water preferred? Thanks,
Michelle
Anyway, I hope you will continue blogging about soup.
