Old Cucumber soup with carrots using the thermal cooker pot




So excited to use my new Thermal Cooker Pot, is slightly bigger than my old thermal cooker pot which means I can add more ingredients to the pot to make delicious soup.

This time I make Old Cucumber Soup with carrots, I did not have to add any seasoning as all the ingredients make the soup very tasty.

Ingredients
300 to 400 gm Pork ribs
300 to 400 gm old cucumber
1 carrot
handful of dried scallops
handful of wolfberries (wash and soak)
few red dates (removed seeds)
dried squid
1200 ml water

Method

1. Wash and scrub old cucumber skin lightly (optional to cut away the skin if preferred)
2. Remove the seeds from the old cucumber and cut the old cucumber into slices
3. Cut the carrots diagonally 
4. Boil and blanch the pork ribs and wash them
5. Add all the ingredients and pork ribs into the thermal pot and add water to cover the ingredients (I added around 1200 ml of water)
6. Boil the soup on medium heat for about twenty minutes.
7. During the last few minutes, add the wolfberries
8. Remove and place the inner thermal pot into the outer thermal pot and covered both lids of the pot and leave them to cook on their own for about three hours.
9. Serve hot

Very useful thermal pot and the best of it, it saves electricity and gas. Monthly bill reduce a lot haha.
