I'm a soup person myself. I could never go one week without a hot bowl of soup; I do prefer those home boiled soup rather than the instant ones. Because I come from a Chinese family, to us boiling soup must be at least more than 1 hour to ensure the flavours truly come out. And I don't like adding seasoning so no salt or pepper.. the best is flavours from the meat and sweetness from the vegetables. Now that's the best soup for me
