I strive hard to include at least three servings of vegetables in my daily diet.  And often, I fail to meet that goal. So last week, I started to do what most Chinese parents do, make healthy soup.  I never really liked drinking soup when I was young.  Most of the time when I go to visit my parents back in South Jersey, they would tell me there’s soup waiting for me.  They would tell me how the soup would get rid of the hot air and cleanse the toxins out of my body. (I never believed them though).

On my first vegetable soup attempt, I threw onions, celery, spinach,  corn, mushrooms, peas, tomatoes, and carrots, along with some salt and pepper into a pot of water and let it simmer for 2 hours.  I then added some miso paste for additional flavor.  I’m starting to see the practicality of healthy soup. All of a sudden, adding more vegetables to my diet just got easier.
