  • 2. Wash the watercress or bok choy cabbage well and then slice which ever one you decide to use for the soup. Taste the broth to see if it needs more seasoning ( bouillon or salt). If the seasoning is ok then add the veggie of choice and cook in the broth for around 5 minutes ,, more or less. Add egg into the soup and cook a little while till egg is cooked.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but the soup still turned out great. I used chicken broth instead of pork broth and I added some chopped carrots and celery.
