PORK AND EGG GOJI SOUP

This is a kind of soup that I usually prepare whenever I wanted a vegetable soup. It is easy to prepare yet aromatic and tasty. Moreover, it is nutritious soup with meat, eggs and leafy greens.

The fragrance of the soup comes from the fried ginger slices and spring onions.

Recipe adapted from Yum Yum Magazine No. 86 with modifications
