Another Version of Lotus Root Soup

Lol!!!! Looking back at my last few posts, I'm really going on a soup spree from the looks of it. Am I cooking other stuff? Yes I am but soups are new to me whilst my other food cooked are my regular ones already in the blog here but yes, I'll need to start dabbling in new recipes aside from soup recipes.

- 500g to 1kg of pork ribs and soft ribs (depending how many people you're cooking for)

- lotus roots, sliced thinly 

- 3 large bowls of water

- have a carrot, sliced thinly

- 1 small bowl of cooked barley

- 4 to 6 large dried figs

- handful of dried lily bulbs

- handful of eurayale seeds

- handful of dried red lotus seeds

1. Boil some water over high heat first and then pour over the pork. This removes the murky looking stuff from the pork or else your soup will turn out murky. You may do it twice if you wish but make sure you have 2 rounds of boiling water with you then.

2. On a separate pot, boil the 3 large bowls of water.

3. Once boiled, throw in all the ingredients including the pork and allow to boil under high heat for about 20 to 30 mins.

4. Then, transfer the entire pot and pour it into a Slow Cooker to cook.

**NOTE**

If you've got someone to watch the Slow Cooker, cook under Low for about 3 hours and then switch to Auto for the rest of the time till you want to have it. Or, you can leave it under Auto for the next 6-8 hours and it will be fine. I actually boiled mine at 6.30am and transferred to Slow Cooker at 7am under Low till 10.30am and switched to Auto thereafter; and left it till I had it at 7pm. 

How easy and healthy can be, right? And yes, it can be such.
