How to make healthy Chinese Soup, mother's style

Something a bit different today...

I get no questions regularly asking me how to make Chinese style healthy soup. Hence I made this video - once you've tried these you won't go back to Delia.

My mother making me a soup with good ingredients which are pretty common (apart from carrots) and can be found cheaply in a Chinese supermarket. She also shows me how to make a simple berry drink (which tastes really good, can be served chilled etc.)

I had to dub out the talking and put music over it because cooking in the kitchen with four women descended into an fight.

Also, no comments about my Mum's hideous fleece. She's had it since 1987 - its served her well.

The soup does really taste good, it's different from canned Oxtail but I promise you it's still lovely.

@BulletxRose I think the chinese mushrooms have a very unique flavor to it that makes it taste very different than regular mushrooms. But I am sure it won't be that bad even if you didn't use them.

Snow Fungus is so delicious..! That texture is awesome :) I highly recommend finding it somewhere..really makes the thing stand out imo.

The herbal soup is something my mom would force me to drink when I was young. It was a rule in toishan china!!! Didn't know how healthy that stuff was. Thanks for the recipes.
