Yen Can Cook: Bacon Vegetables Soup
Still remember I’ve shared the recipe of Borscht (Hong Kong Style) Luo Song Tong 罗宋汤? Its soup base is cooked with beef and I received response from readers that if the beef can be replaced with other meat such as chicken or pork. Here I’ll share with you guys a similar vegetables soup but with one of the favourite ingredients of many~ bacon!
Ingredients (Serve: 3-4)

50g bacon, cut into small pieces
200g tomatoes, diced
350g cabbage, sliced
1 carrot, diced
1/2 onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic
1-2 bay leaves
600cc water
Salt and black pepper to taste
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: In a deep pot, stir fry the bacon until light golden brown. Add in garlic and onion continue stir fry until onions are translucent and soft.

Step 2: Add in diced tomatoes and stir fry 2-3 minutes or until they are soft. Add in cabbage and carrot, continue to stir fry.

Step 3: Pour in water and bay leaves, simmer until all the vegetables are soften to your preferred texture. Seasons with salt and pepper, serve.

This is another soup that I love to prepare for my carbo-less dinner. Types and amount of vegetables can be adjusted according to personal preference.

What’s better to have this for the recent rainy season, it’s hearty and totally my kind of comfort food.


HAPPY COOKING!

Proper comfort food isn’t it?
KY, indeed, at least for me ^___^
This is definitely delicious and healthy soup. It would help me to slim down since it is carbo-less.
TM, it is carbo-less but don’t forget it has bacon to, hehe. So if you really want to slim down, omit the bacon, use only vegetables, hohoho~~~
Yummy yummy soup!
PH, yum yum~~
这汤我喜欢耶!!下次试试换成烧猪骨,味道会更浓郁。
Eugien, 我记得上次你有在我的另外一个post(忘了是IG还是部落格文)提议我用烧肉骨但我都在超市买菜,那里真的比较难买到烧肉骨 ~>_<~ 但宝宝想到那骨头的味道融入汤里面就很想要试啊。还是请妈妈帮我在传统市场看看买不买得到好了~
looks tasty! you can even put a poached egg into this soup! 😀
Sean, that’s a really good idea, I love egg!
This looks like a version of ABC soup except it’s made with bacon. I can’t imagine putting bacon into a soup though…coz I always want to pan-fry them and eat! 😉
Kris, you can put crispy bacon atop of the soup, hehe 😛
