ABC Soup 【罗宋汤】

My son A's eating pattern changes time after time, I normally go with the flow and focusing more on creating a positive dining experience than counting what really goes into his little mouth. Over time he has developed interests with different type of foods and is more willing to try new stuff.

Since he is now handling spoon and fork well, I have started introducing more of clear soup into his diet. This ABC soup is one of the soup that he really enjoys, he likes it with some rice in it or just as it is. This soup allows me to sneak in more veggies and liquid into his meal, not to mention that I enjoy the soup as much !

我养孩子心比较大，俊宝的饮食是跟着他的心情和喜好更动的，从来不紧张也不强求，这样反而造就了他面对饮食没有压力，吃东西会很享受的性格。最近他勺子和叉子都用得很稳了，也渐渐开始对中国式的老火汤有兴趣，我就开始了浓汤进入了老火汤喂养模式，这款ABC汤营养美味，做了好几次俊宝都很喜欢，泡饭净喝他都爱。

这款汤在马来西亚有两个名字，有的人叫它罗宋汤，有的人叫它ABC汤。是一道很家常的汤品，小孩子尤其喜欢，用它泡饭特别好吃哦！

至于它的来源，我个人感觉它可能原来是山寨西餐里的罗宋汤的，后来根据当地人的口味慢慢地就变成这样的做法了。至于为什么也叫做ABC汤呢？那是因为马来西亚有一个小吃刨冰叫做ABC（Air Batu Campur), 色彩缤纷，冰凉甜腻可口。据网友说，那是因为这款汤品富含维他命A,B,C所以才叫做ABC汤的。
