Who doesn't like soup? For Chinese it is better to have soup to drink during lunch or dinner. Don't ask me why as seem it is a traditional which runs in the family. Sometimes I no take any soup in during lunch, usually we have soup during dinner. How about you? Above picture you are looking at the Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Chinese Cordyceps.
