ABC Seaweed Soup with Korean Vermicelli


ABC Seaweed Soup with Korean Vermicelli

To me, ABC soup is the mother of all soups. :) Even newbie home-cooks can master cooking this soup. The original ABC soup contains three basic ingredients: carrot, onion, potato. I like to add in other vegetables and meat. So, here's my latest variation of ABC Soup.

 
Ingredients:
(Serves 4)

1 large stewing pork bone
1 large carrot, chopped into chunks
1 large yellow onion, chopped into chunks
1 large potato, chopped into chunks
A handful of goji berries (wolfberries), soaked until soft and rinsed
10 small dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked until soft and rinsed
2 large sheets of dried seaweed
Salt to taste*
Enough Korean vermicelli for two adults and one toddler

* I only add in salt into the main pot after scooping aside a separate bowl for my toddler.


How to:

1. Put all ingredients (except vermicelli) into a slow cooker pot, add water to cover, close the lid, and switch on the High mode for 4 hours. Then, switch to Low mode for another 2 hours. Season with salt (refer * above) before switching off.

2. Just before serving, boil glass noodles in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain noddles into serving bowls and pour hot soup over it.


See the huge pork bone? I had a good time gnawing it. :)

On a side note, here's another variation of my Spicy Spaghetti. I named it Chinese Fried Spicy Spaghetti. Recipe from my previous endeavor with a little twist - I added sausages and bacon crisps.

  1. Hi Joyce,
    Oh yes, my 3 kids request ABC soup all the time. It is indeed nutritious and yum! I am like you just add salt for adults.

    Your version of Korean vermicelli and ABC soup look great! I am cooking a dish with Korean vermicelli too the other day.

    Thanks a lot for sharing all your noodles/pasta dish to LTU!

    1. Thanks Mui Mui! I'm trying my best not to serve too much salt to my toddler. But sometimes he does request for adult food. Haha.

  2. Joyce , I love Korean vermicelli but haven't tried it in soup yet :D Love the homemade soup , hearty and very satisfying !

    I was thinking what to type when my eyes saw Joy "N" Star Wars ! I love SW but not that much knowledgeable about it :D I've been planning to check out one of the big toy store here for some SW figures but haven't got around to it yet :P

    1. Hi Anne, nice to hear that you are a SW fan too! My husband is a huge fan. He can memorize conversation lines in the first six movies! Now we're waiting for the seventh movie. :)
