"CATERPILLAR" Soup

(Our kids LOVE this soup! It was our daughter who came up with this name. This is because after the corn has been cooked in the soup, we take it out & cut out the kernels in a strip with a knife before putting it back into the soup bowls to serve with the rest of the soup. As a result, some of the kernels stick together in a chain and looks like a "caterpillar"! According to the friend who passed this recipes to us, this is a "cooling" soup. Great for hot days & when the family seems "heaty", especially with coughs.)

1 red carrot, cut into cubes
1 green carrot, cut into cubes (yes, believe me - you CAN find green carrots in the wet markets)
1 white carrot (or otherwise called "radish"), cut into cubes
1 whole ear of corn, together with the husks & cornsilk ("Hair").
200g Meat Bones, scalded in boiling water for 3mins.

Put all ingredients into crockpot, fill ¾ full with HOT water. Boil for 3 hours before serving. As mentioned above, we take out the corn & cut out the kernels before serving.

This recipe taken from Moms In Mind. Thanks for sharing.
