Rib Soup for WInter ( Iga Soup)

Ribs Soup ( Iga Soup  ) is one of my mom favorite soup. She will cooked this soup no mater the weather is hot or cold ( Well, Jakarta never been as cold as Europe where I live now, but sometimes back then, when the rainy season come, it can be a bit cold too...just sometime!!!! ). the point is I found this soup often serve in every other week in our kitchen. so I called this is one of her cooking specialties. Usually my mom cooked  this soup only with 2 kind of vegie her kids love the most, Potatoes and Carrots. Potatoes for my brother and I'm the rabbit. Yep.. I'm the one that eat the carrots on this soup ( Of course  with the ribs too!! ). so each time we took the bowl soup. we have to struggle to collect our  favorite veggie on the soup. thinking about that time, I felt so silly.!! 

Back to the soup story. Since I have two picky boys who doesn't like or eat veggie ( except Salad and pumpkin soup!!! ). I often cooked this soup and believe it or not, They like it a lot.

Anyway, I'm just feeling great to be able to share the best memory  of my childhood. So, for those who have picky eater kids, why don't you give a try to make this delish easy soup on your kitchen.

Bon Appetit!!
