Winter is finally here! This morning was freezing cold, a bowl of soup can surely warm me up! And this is the only thing that I like about winter... Talking about soup, it reminded me of  the soup I made the other night -- West Lake Beef Soup.

Why West Lake? To be honest, I have no idea. It could be because it is originated from the area around West Lake or this soup is made with the beef there. Whatever the reason is, doesn't really bother me. It is the taste that matters.

This is one easy recipe that everyone can make. Ingredients are also easy to get. If you want some soup to warm up your night, try this tonight :D
