Mint leaves and egg soup - Featured in Group Recipes

Mum taught me to be independent at an early age. When I was 9 years old, she taught me how to cook rice and fry eggs. The first soup I was taught to make is Mint leaves and egg soup.  This soup is extremely aromatic and delicious. I love it and whenever I see fresh mint leaves in the market, I never fail to pick up a bunch or two to make the soup.  The Chinese believe this light and clear soup is very cooling for our body system and and drinking the soup will also help relieve flatulence.
