Have you ever tried sloppy leaves? They are one of my favorite green leaves in winter and early spring. The most popular and traditional way of cooking slow pea leaves is to stir-fry them with garlic, but I have another fabulous recipe. You can cook this dark green leaf in different types of soups. It can taste super fresh and delicious even in clean water. 

But I decided to make some improvements to the broth. Only with two eggs can we create a cream-white soup base. Once you try this soup, you will fall in love with it.

      Sometimes some of the ingredients we throw away can be made delicious using other special methods. 😄
