SNOW WHITE SOUP (NAPA CABBAGE SOUP)

This are comfort food for us in any season, cold or hot season, in cold season it offered warm blanket of comfort, while in hot season it offered freshness and simplicity of deliciousness. This seriously humble soup are my favourite, cheap, nutritious, easy to make and delicious. Maybe because it brought a lot of my childhood memories, there are sentiment in this dishes.

I named this “snow white soup” , I named food in weird way to attract excitement and interest of my kids even though I am being blessed that they loves veggies. Sometime it just silly thing to do, to laugh together with them. We are quite weird anyway, there are no boundaries for us, like placing certain food into categories, “only food to eat” on breakfast, lunch or dinner. We eat what we want, whenever we want, but only when we are hungry.

Here are the full of sentiment recipe.
