Pasta Spicy Soup

It was a cold morning.. after going out most of the night and morning, it started to rain hehe... so I thought to myself " nothing could be better but a nice hot bowl of spicy soup to get the blood moving hehehehe"


300g of corn bits
2 large egg
300g of pasta
300g of minced meat
1 tablespoon of spicy red chili flakes
1 tablespoon of honey
1 table spoon of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 large finely diced onions
4 cups of chicken or beef stock ( you can use stock cubes if you want )
1/2 cup of red wine
First heat up a nice deep soup pan with the olive oil, after 1 min add in the onions and stir fry em for 4 to 5 mins till they are transparent. Now add in like 500 ml of boiling water and then the pasta. Cook the pasta in the soup for about 15 mins then add in the beef stock or chicken cubes. Boil for another 5 mins and add in the meats, any herbs, chili flakes to taste, salt to taste, all the honey and corn in. Finally, beat the eggs in a bowl and then slowly add the eggs in while constantly stiring the pot. Boil for another 10mins and serve piping hot with a dash of black pepper !

Herbal Soup with Vegetarian Mutton

This is something that is easy to cook and very nice to have.. its a kind of herbal tea soup.
Usually they cook it with real spare ribs or chicken. I decided to use vegetarian glutton for my cooking. I prefer to use the vegetarian mutton, as its made of primarily Chinese mushroom fibres so it would not just disintegrate after a couple of hours of boiling...... the thing about Chinese herbal soup... you boil for up to 8 hours :P

5 large bowls of water
1 pack of Chinese chicken herbal soup herbs ( you can get them at local shopping malls )
1 pack of 350g of vegetarian mutton glutton.
some salt


Boil the water for about 20 mins. Add in the herbal mixture into the water. Boil the water for 30 mins with the herbal. Now if you are using real meat, please make sure there is bones with it but you can get rid of the skin. And you need to rinse through the real meat with boiling hot water before adding into the boiling herbs.

But since i am using vegetarian mutton, I just have to dump them in. By now the liquid with the herbs would be boiling for 30mins or more, turn down the heat to the lowest setting and let it slow boil for up to eight hours. If you had about 1 litre of water to start with in a large bowl it should be enough.

Now its 8 hours already and you just have to add salt to taste and serve it up ! Happy drinking ;D
