A typical Chinese ABC soup contains meat (either pork or chicken), onions, carrots, tomatoes and potatoes.
The recipe is flexible so you can add an assortment of ‘related’ goodies – sweetcorn, dried scallops, dried oysters, red dates, goji berries, Chinese (napa) cabbage, meatballs etc.
All these extra ingredients are to encourage the natural sweetening and flavoring of the soup.
So WHY it is name as ABC soup?
Some people claim that it’s called ABC soup due to vitamins A, B and C from the vegetables. Others say because it’s easy to make, as easy as ABC.
