Not the western cream soup, but chinese style such as lotus root and winter melon, etc. Chinese always use chicken or pork to boil soup, it’s said to make the soup “sweeter” (tastier).

At the end of the slow cooking my Lotus Root's texture was like crunchy water chestnut but with no taste, so I didn't eat them. Maybe you can try RM's one-hour cooking method?

Ummmmm......so i need to buy honey dates also ? I have more difficulty looking out in the shelves....no time ;p Did you eat the Lotus Root also, or just drink the soup ? Lotus Root is very "cooling" vegetable, so cannot eat too much...but the soup is ok. Woooooh....the soup looks really good...all the essence of the ingredients sunk in deep.

It's like a stamp - you dip the lotus root into paint and then make prints. Pretty fun, cos you can get different sized prints. RM - Ya.. I did that yesterday - honey dates with water cress. Actually the honey dates salvaged my water cress soup because I had put too little pork, so the soup wasn't sweet until I threw in the honey dates. I look forward to attend Rasa Malaysia and Melting Wok's G-g-g-great Cookout! DF - I only used them for art and craft when I was a kid.

Isn't it great? Now you can cook your water cress soup with honey dates and it will be so sweet as it cancels out that little bitterness in water cress!!! I know I couldn't stop sipping my lotus root soup and it looks like now you are hooked too...hmm, gotta make that water cress soup myself (I just received my new pressure cooker!)!!!
