Meatball and Taukee Soup

This is a very homey soup that is easy and simple to prepare yet good with rice for dinner.

It is a quick cook soup that takes only minutes.

My mother in-law gave me some taukee which she told me is good quality ones. These days, taukee could be quite rubbery after cooking but this one isn’t.

The soup turns out so good with just 2 main ingredients. This soup is so easy to cook and I only estimate ‘agak-agak’ the quantity of the ingredients just enough for 3 persons.

I added light soy sauce for colour and to add some sweetness to the soup.
