Lamb Soup

Lamb soup! This soup is dedicated to all those who love it! It is the best soup for a cold winter, but it is also good any other time of the year. According to the Chinese medicine, it helps the body to resist cold weather. This recipe requires a pressure cooker in order to cook the soup in a minimum grain of time. However, a normal pot would work too, but you would need to simmer the soup for at least 2 hours for a rich taste.

Ingredients: Lamb bones, veggies (potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, etc.), 5 spices powder, black pepper, salt, leek, ginger, and coriander.

1. Boil some water and put the lamb bones in there for a few seconds in order to clean the bones. Remove the bones and throw the water.
2. Boil some water again with the bones.
3. Wash and cut the veggies into small pieces.
4. Add the spices, salt, and black pepper in the boiling water.
5. Put the veggies, leek, and ginger in the pan.
6. Cover and lock the pan.
From here, you have to cook the soup using the instructions of your pressure cooker.
7. Turn to maximum heat until the pressure starts bursting from the top, and then turn the heat to low and wait for 30 minutes.
8. When the pressure is completely gone, open and serve this wonderful soup! :]
9. Add some coriander for a better taste!

Remember that potatoes are very good in absorbing salt and other spices, so if you put a lot of potatoes, put more salt!
