3 C's Soup


ABC soup is a very common, easy to make nutritious soup, but as I have corn, celery and carrot in this concotion, how best to name it but the 3 C's soup!






The sweetness from these Cameron Highlands corn gives added flavour to this clear and nourising soup.

    Oh, those sweet corn were really sweet even after cooking. No wonder 3 hungry tummies was so proud of them coming from Camerons, her home town.
