WATERCRESS SOUP V FIGS & ALMONDS

Many people around us are falling sick recently due to the extreme hot weather (affected by the El Niño phenomenon) and haze. Hubby is having a mild cold and LO is starting to cough a little bit too. So today I decided to boil this watercress with dried figs and almonds soup. Watercress, which is cool in nature, helps to clear heat, moisten lungs and expel phlegm. The almonds too help to moisten lungs and relieve coughs.

Helps to clear heat and relieve coughs.

Ingredients:

Approx 375g watercress, thoroughly rinsed
8 dried figs
1 carrot
3 maces (approx 11.3g) sweet almond
2 maces (approx 7.6g) bitter almond
Approx 300g pork bones

Scald pork bones in boiling water for 5 mins.
Peel carrot, cut into pieces and rinse with other ingredients.
Place all ingredients and 3000ml of water into a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Turn to low heat and simmer for 3 hours. Serve.
