Watercress and Corn Soup

Lots of people think making soup is complicated and troublesome: lots of ingredients; long preparation time before cooking and the order of putting different ingredients.

Today I’d like to introduce a simple yet nutritious soup: Watercress and Corn Soup. (西洋菜粟米汤)

Ingredients:
400g Watercress;
2pc Sweet Corn
240g Pork (lean meat)
4 Preserved Chinese Dates
1/4pc Tangerine Peel
8cups Water

Seasonings:
A little salt

Cooking:
wash and drain watercress;
wash and section the sweet corn;
wash and water blanche the pork;
Add all ingredients in saucepan, cook for 1.5 hours and season to taste.

Knowledge:
Watercress provides as much as vitamin C as oranges, more calcium than whole milk and more iron than spinach.
