Mulberry and corn pork bone soup
Mulberry leaves taste delicious and have no side effects. Ancient Chinese health practitioners once used mulberry leaves instead of tea as drinks to preserve youth. In Guangdong, whenever someone in the family has a cold or a "fire", the family is not in a hurry to take medicine. Instead, they buy tender mulberry leaves in the market to make soup and eat it as a dish, so that the cold and "fire" will disappear unknowingly on the table. This soup is not only not bad, but also has a unique flavor.
