Watercress is a kind of aquatic plant. I remember that a classmate's family used to grow these vegetables. Every winter, there is a green field in the pond, which looks very beautiful and eye-catching at first glance. The biggest feeling of being in Guangdong is that Cantonese people are very afraid of getting angry, so they often make a lot of soup to visit home to keep their home safe. Today this watercress bone soup is authentic Cantonese old fire soup, almost home in Cantonese families Everyone will cook this soup in winter to clear lung heat, moisturize dryness, and protect family safety.
