Soup •ABC• 汤

This is a very simple soup, yet difficult to master.

For some unknown reason, it is widely known as ABC soup, maybe for its easy preparation, as easy as A-B-C.

Its just simmering all the ingredients till they softened, yet not till they mashed.

The ingredients are :

Pork.  Preferably pork ribs, yet any boney pork is acceptable.  I personally prefer lean meat.

Carrot, potato, tomato, and onions.  All cut in big pieces.

A few cloves of garlic.

Coarsely grounded black pepper.  And salt to taste

However, the exact quantity of each ingredients varies for every recipes.  

ABC Soup

Ingredients

Meat, 250g - be it chicken ( breast, drumstick, quarter or whole ), or pork ( knuckle, spare ribs, belly, etc ), but not beef.

Potato, x 3  – peel, and cut into chunks

Tomato, x 2  – cut into chunks

Onion, x 2  – cut into chunks

Pepper and salt to taste

Method :

Put all ingredients into a pot half-filled with H₂O, simmer for 30 minutes.

Serve hot.

( That’s super easy !!! )

Now, the difficult part is to figure out the meaning &/@ origin of the name.    

Why is it called ABC Soup?   

It is definitely not because of  the ingredients resembling the alphabets.  

Or in anywhere related to the Alphabet pasta. 

Or is it acronym of Air Batu Campur ?   Ali Beng Chandran ? Certainly not !
All Boleh Campur  perhaps ?

Is it because it is easy to prepare, as easy as A-B-C ?

A question remain unanswered.

Well, why don’t try it yourself sometime and chew it over?
