This is really simple and east to prepare in just about 15 to 20 minutes. I usually prepare this menu when I don't have much time to cook and I can use the left over rice from a day before for this rice soup or I prepare this menu when I am not feeling good and I would love to have something light and easy to digest. So, rice soup seem to be the best choice for me but it is not always for the menu when I get sick but it is also can be a meal that takes short to prepare.
Simple, light meal, easy to prepare which I usually add some vegetables I have inside my refrigerator such as celery, carrot, or Bella mushroom if I have them. Ground pork, garlic, and left over rice. Garnish the soup with some cilantro from my backyard garden. If I have ginger I would add some in the soup or I can crack some egg and put in a pot and let it cook for about 2 minutes before turn off the stove. For the best flavor, I would use my homemade chicken broth if I have it handy, if I don't have it I just use filtered water instead (spring water is fine as well).
