Easy Chinese Cabbage Soup (20 minutes)
This easy and quick Chinese Cabbage Soup is a nutritious dish on the dinner table in 20 minutes (unlike other Asian soups which typically take forever to cook!) Moreover, you can get the ingredients at your regular store without having to go to the Asian market (just substitute the goji berries with carrots.) I also show you how to make a light version for a family dinner in summer and a heartier one for winter.

- ⅛ Napa Cabbage
- 1 litre Chicken Stock/ Pork Stock
- 1-2 Tablespoons wolfberries (Substitute: 1 carrot cut into rounds)
