Hello friends! Today I want to share one of my daily menus at home, which is fresh vegetable soup. This time I combine two types of vegetables in one dish, namely spinach and water pumpkin. Spinach is the most commonly processed vegetable as a daily vegetable menu at home, it is easy to get and rich in nutrients. Not only spinach, I want to combine it with water pumpkin to add flavor, it happens to be in the refrigerator, rather than not being used so I thought of mixing the two. Vegetable soup can be adjusted with the ingredients available at home. And can be combined with various vegetables according to your preferences.

This vegetable soup is also suitable for children, I served this dish to my son, he really enjoyed it. A little serving suggestion, to make it more delicious, you can add more soup stock when you want to eat it, until the stock can be slurped. It must be very delicious.
