There isn’t much knitting for the past two weeks. Why? FH is back and I’ve been spending most of my free time with him . He’s going back to work this coming Monday for 7 weeks this time. I’m going to miss him heaps. Oh well, there will be more knitting contents then. Anyway, I baked some kiwi muffins after being inspired by my mum and here’s the end results.

A few weeks ago, I bought some Rowan All Seasons Cotton Print from Cucumber Patch. It was on auction and I cant help it as it was a very good bargain and shipping is free too!!! I also bought some Katia Samoa for Mum too.

This is just one of my favourite soup that my mum used to boil for our family. No idea why it’s called ABC soup but I guess it’s because it has vitamin A, B and C? So here I am sharing this yummy recipe for you.

2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
2 carrots, cut into wedges
3 potatoes, cut into wedges
500 g salted mustard green, slice into big pieces
1 big brown onion, , cut into wedges

1 litre chicken stock (or you can use chicken frame and boiled it with water)
1 litre water
20 g freshly ground black pepper (depends on how spicy you want it to be)
salt to taste

Method:

1. Put all the ingredients into a pot.
2. Make sure the water covers all the ingredients.
3. Bring to boil on high.
4. Once the soup is boiling, lower down the heat to medium, and simmer for 2-3 hours, covered.

Tips:
You can usually get the salted mustard green in the oriental supermarket.
