When you have Mac 'n Cheese for children as their comfort food, guess what do I have for my children?
Nope, it ain't fries or chicken nuggets but...
.
.
Mac 'n soup!
When I was young, my mother always cooked me this when I fell ill. What I saw her did, I do likewise. Both children are not well now with fever, sore throat and cough, so some comfort food might do wonders. For my 2nd son, it will be tube-feeding all the way as he would not eat when he is not well. Cut the story short, here I want to present to you...
Asian Macaroni Soup
Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- 1 inch ginger (peeled)
- Vegetables mixed - up to you what you want. I literally stucked my head in the fridge & kitchen, grabbed whatever I had. 1 carrot, 1 potato and 1 handful palm-grip of corn. My mum usually used carrot, potatoes, celery and brocoli.
- Minced meat (meat of your choice)
- I popped my head into fridge again and found tofu cubes and fish cake. Thew them in too for something different 😁
- 1 bowl of macaroni (haven't cooked)
Steps
Let me show you the steps by photos.
First, lightly stir fry the ginger and garlic in a drizzle of oil to let their fragrant out. Then, add in water. I only have the photo below.
Let it boil for 10 minutes before add in carrots, potatoes and corn.
Let the vegetables simmer for 15 to 20 minutes to release their sweetness. Meanwhile, I went and cut the tofu and fish cake and marinade the minced meat, then shape them into balls. Photo below was blur because my son called out to me and I jerked a little.
Then, add in one by one, fish cake, tofu and the meat.
Let the soup and ingredients simmer for 10 minutes. While waiting, I boiled the macaroni according to the instruction on the packet. Boiling them in water with salt and oil for 8 minutes, then drain.
By now, you could smell the fragrance from the soup of flavourful ingredients. Up to you whether you want to season with salt or not. I did because my children have strong taste buds.
Scoop the desired amount of macaroni into a bowl and top up with the soup and ingredients. It is indeed a bowl of comfort food.
Yummy! Nutritious!

It is amazing to find out macaroni can be cooked in so many different ways besides Mac n Cheese. Maybe one day you can show us too., 😊
It is nice of you to drop by here @noemilunastorta. :)
It looks really nice and delicious; my favourite is chicken and rice soup

Asian macaroni soup :)
Have you tried before? I thought most of us would have tried it. But I am not sure also..
No
But I am not the best cook hahaha
My MIL does a mean Asian styled Spaghetti goreng
But me have not because of my fussy kids
Apart from my girl, the boys all have different tastes...
So most times I stick to the ones I know they like or the ones I know I can force them to eat and they will ;p
That is a smart mama. Haha. I am not the best cook too. In fact, my husband cooks better than me. But he let me do the show. Lol. And he is forgiving too. Lol...
My eldest is the picky type. Everything must be tasty because he used to eat babysitter's cooking which is super nice. She is an Indian and a great cook. Oh well...
My Chinese cooking always undertaste for him. Haha.
Thanks for being here @kaerpediem
That looks so tasty <3
Thank you so much @clicked. You have a wonderful time.
Looks so nyummi, for fever soup is so good the increase the body immune. It would be better if you add more onion for the soup @iamjadaline. I love to make soup as well. #steemitbloggers
Oh yes. I should put onion!!! Thank you so much for this. 🙂
Such a tasty comfort food! We have a similar dish like yours and we call it The same, macaroni soup or sopas in my native language. Thanks for this lovely recipe
Sopas. I like the sound.
Macaroni Sopas sound like a super combo.
Thank you for being here @sherylneil.
Nice and healthy! Hope your babies feel better soon!
Hi @dalipops. I must commend I love your writing. Super.
My eldest is better. My 2nd still running fever. But yes I am positive they will be well soon. Thank you @dalipops.
P/s: if my sons know you, they might relate you with lollipops 😜
This is wonderful! I didn’t know you can cook macaroni into a bowl of delicious soup. Will try to cook this. Thanks for the recepi.
I normally cook this type of soup without oil, but with a slow cooker mixed with all the ingredients you mentioned plus either pork ribs or chicken thighs. 😋 (but never try with macaroni.)
The slow cooker is a marvelous invention. Maybe I shud blog about it next time when I cook it.

Please blog about it. Or you can do vlog too via dtube. And of course no oil will be best. But this one I stir fry awhile to let it more fragrant as I didn't use chicken bone or pork ribs this time. Need to increase the flavour abit.
Thank you Wilson.

This looks yummy! It is a chilly day here and soup sounds fabulous. Well, except for the tofu, since Im allergic to soy, but everything else looks delish! Never heard of macaroni soup, but Ill have to try it sometime!
That looks so yummy! I do hope your children feel well soon! 💙
Thank you so much love. @thekittygirl. They are getting better day by day. Second son's immune system is slightly weaker so he will take longer.
