{ Recipe } Hairy Melon & Dried Squid Soup 節瓜鱆魚湯
I love soup! I can have soup every day in every single meal and I will never ever get bored nor get sick of it YES, I am obsessed with any kind of soup, doesn't matter if it is Western or Asian, creamy or watery, canned or powder...
If you ever got someone to ask about my favourite food, you should know the answer by now and it will always be the same -- SOUP! No any other answer but SOUP! If you get it wrong, I will be really upset! :(
As you know, I originally from Hong Kong and most people from this city love to have soup, if not all. That partly explains why I love soup. But then there is another contributor, the major one, to my obsession of soup. That is my mum. We were brought up with mum's yummilicious soup everyday. If there is no soup one night, there must be something wrong. No matter what the reason is we feel like we are missing something for that particular meal. Yes, we are so addicted to mum's soup.
Since I am away from home, I must learn how to cope with this addiction. Therefore, I started to ask mum and search online to learn how to make my ultimate comfort food.
You will soon to know I genuinely love soup! There will be lots of soup recipes later on... if you love soup like I do, stay tuned :D
For the time being, enjoy this hairy melon and dried squid soup. You will love it! :D
