Chinese people always have a soup on their dining table almost every meal.

That's because it is very filling and maintain body temperature (I personally don't care as long as is yummy ).

Qing Tang (清汤) is the Chinese name of a clear soup.

You can have it with either rice or noodle.

It can be cooked in many ways, depending on your preference.

The following is my recipe.
