{Chinny’s Chicken Soup for the Soul}

This is an all-time favourite comfort food for me. Something simple to have when I dunno what else to cook. It's my own version now, as since young my Mum has been cooking this but with pork ribs instead. This is my Halal version. I've been a Muslim-convert since I was married in 2007, so this is my way of having Mum's food without her cooking it for me. Hahaha...
