Recently my family tried out a new combination of ingredients for dinner soup, and the outcome was not bad..Well I don't know what to call it, maybe just label it as winter melon soup.
The ingredients used include:
- Winter melon
- Black dried mushroom
- Red dates
- Chick peas (or otherwise known as garbanzo)
What surprised me most was that the soup tastes like chicken soup! Yes, i read in a vegetarian book before that using chick peas to boil soup gives the tangy taste of chicken soup, and its proven now. Make sure the chick peas are boiled till soft, then eat them together with pieces of winter melon and you'll notice the unique flavor!
Well, i guess they don't call chick peas 'chick peas' for nothing! Haha.. =D
