Lazymom Cooking #3 : Old Cucumber Soup & Celery with Cashew Nut

Old Cucumber Soup (non halal)

Today is another long day. Woke up at 4am for breakfast & meeting at 6am. So tired by the time I fetched my son home I forgotten I was supposed to meet @iceskatermom to teach her how to use Remitano. Sorry @iceskatermom!

Since I was already home I decided to cook old cucumber soup and a veggie dish. The soup is one of @annabellenoelle's favourite and it is easy to make.

Old Cucumber Soup
Recipe for 2 adults and 2 kids:

1 x old cucumber (choose the ugliest looking one and weighs heavier, but not dry-looking)
Soup bones / ribs (or chicken carcass)
Red dates, about 10
1 x honeyed date (can buy from Chinese medicine hall)
Goji berries, as many as you like

Method:

1. Boil the meat / bones in a pot of water first. Drain the water. This is to remove excess fats, making the soup much less oily.
2. Boil a fresh pot of water. Water level just enough to cover the meat/bones.
3. When the water starts to boil place the meat/bones in.
4. Bring to boil again, add in the rest of the ingredients.
5. Boil for 2 hours on low heat.

Because of the honeyed date, don't need to put salt but of course can add salt to taste.

*make sure don't take a nap when the soup is boiling unless using a pot that has internal timer and auto switch-off.
