Chicken Pork Muscle Herbal Soup

 Bought this pack of herbs from NTUC
Decided to make myself and baby some soup today.

This pack cost $5.50
I divide this pack into 2 portion since 1 whole portion is too much for me alone.

In order not to add extra seasoning, i decided to add in some pork muscle and chicken thigh.. with a lil salt..

Chicken thigh $2.50
Pork muscale $2.50

Serve for 1 to 2 pax
made 3 bowls.

 Double boiled for 2hrs..
Without much seasoning.. it tasted very sweet :) with the meat assence all inside the soup.
