Soups are great no only because the taste but also the benefits to our body. I will match my dinner table with soup at least twice a week. It might be a healthy chicken soup with mushrooms or a trotter soup which is considered to be our skin.

Making a yummy soup usually calls for good equipment for example a good earthen pot or an electric high pressure cooker. The former one requires a long time while the later one only needs around 40 minutes.

In almost all Chinese cuisines, soups take an important role especially in Guangdong province where people add some ingredients belonging to traditional Chinese medicine.

When making a soup, choosing the fresh ingredients are the most important part. As long as the ingredients are fresh enough, you will never go too far from the good taste.

Besides, usually for Chinese style soups, ginger is added in order to remove the raw taste. Recipe of today, I use white radish and corn as the side ingredient to pork bones. The big pork bones contain rich calcium. Corn will bring a slight sweet taste and white radish for clearing up some fatty feeling of the soup. Hope you like it as me too.
