ABC Soup

I love soup and I love this ABC Soup!

I don't know why it's called ABC soup.

Maybe because the ingredients used are simple, and cooking it is as easy as ABC? Or is it because it's full of Vitamins A, B and C?!

Hubby dear cooked this (after researching on the internet on how to cook it) on Saturday evening, since it was a long Thanksgiving weekend. The elder boy loved it so much, he had three bowls of soup for that evening! We omitted some ingredients which are normally used, like potato. I think the next time we cook it, we can add a ear or two of corn into the soup ... YUM!

Ingredients

1.5 lb Pork Spareribs

1 Large Yellow Onion

1 Large Tomato (You can add more if you like)

4 sticks Celery, Diced

4 sticks Carrots, Diced

2 ears Corn, halved (Optional)

2 Potatoes, Peeled and Cubed (We omitted this)

1.3 litres Water

• Remove any traces of fats from the spareribs.
• Blanch the spareribs in boiling water for a couple of minutes.
• Rinse the spareribs in cold water.
• Prepare a big pot and fill it with water.
• Put all the ingredients into the pot.
• Bring the water to a boil.
• Lower the heat, and let it simmer.
• Cook the soup for 2 hours.
• Remove the thin layer of oil, if any, with a spoon.

This soup is very sweet, and not too oily, as hubby dear did a good job in removing most of the fats on the spareribs.

Thank you dear, for the delicious soup ... I really miss drinking it!
