Like the aroma that filled up my kitchen whenever i prepared this soup, wait till you tasted it, it is so fresh & refreshing. This is one of the quick & easy soup that i used to cook when i was working, not knowing then that the benefit of mint leaves is manifold, some of them as below:
- Relieve from congestion problems, common cold and flu
- Relieve symptoms of indigestion and heartburn
- Powerful antioxidant (prevent cancer)
- Effective toxins eliminator (inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungus)
- Good cleanser for the blood
- Combat bad breath
- Help with nasal allergies
And particularly for mint leaves & egg soup, many Chinese believe that it helps to relive 'wind' in body and symptoms of bad coughs. 'Wind' in body is symptom like mild cramping in stomach, where the abdomen produce a hollow sound when being knock lightly.
Whenever i am in a rush, but do not want to compromise with having my family to miss the nourishment of soup, this is definitely one in the list.
