I Cook TRADITIONAL Chinese Soup With Mom

Join Mama Lai and I as we cook Chinese soup! This version is green turnip carrot & chicken. In Chinese, it’s called 青蘿蔔 紅蘿蔔 雞. I grew up with these soups, and I always felt better after drinking it. It’s very soothing and comforting, especially if you’re not feeling well. These soups are especially popular amongst Toisanese people. Toisan is a Guang Zhou province in the Southern part of China. That’s where my Mom is from!
Enjoy this soup! You’ll definitely feel better after drinking it!
