Broccoli Soup

What did people get from X’Mas gifts? I got aprons, bath gels, a cooking plate, Paul Hollywood’s British Baking… and lots of other things. Thank you... all of my lovely friends!!

In Taiwan, we don’t give gifts to people in Chinese New Year. Instead, we put some money in the red envelop and give to people. It is still a gift, but I think there is a different meaning of getting money and gifts. Money, we just see how much we get it. Gifts, you can see how hard your friends and family choose for you. If I could choose, I would like pick every single gift to my family instead of money. What is your idea?

Recipe: Serve 2~3 people
