Simple as ABC

When hubby bought some sweet corns back, the first thing I thought as ABC soup!! Yes, that what I cooked the next day. 


As the name indicated, it was very simple yet comforting soup. Nothing hard about it. Just toss everything in a slow cooker and let it cooks for you! 

The standard ingredients in ABC soup are potatoes, sweet corns and carrots but you can add onion, tomatoes and red dates to it as well. 

Ingredients:

Pork ribs, blanched

2 sweet corns, cut into half

2 Australian potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters

1 carrot, chopped

1 big onion, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

Water to boil


Methods:

1. In a slow cooker, heat up the water. Once boiled, add all the ingredients. Cook for about 2 to 2.5 hours. 

2. Season with salt and pepper. 


Simple, right? 

I accompanied my ABC soup with stir fried pea shoots. My kids love their vegetables. 


As the June weather was very warm, I also made us a pot of bird's nest. The kids prefer this more than mung bean soup so I cook this nourishing soup once in a while.

Good that your children love to eat vegetables. Your abc soup must be so sweet naturally with the corn in it. Sometimes we add cabbage in ABC soup too.

My mom makes pork spareribs soup with corns and radishes for the summer lunch very often. I miss pea shoots!
p.s You can make mayonnaise with soya milk or chickpea water. No egg, no dairy at all.
