Chinese Macaroni Soup recipe

This macaroni soup plays an important part in the popular breakfast sets available at any traditional Hong Kong cafés. The cafes normally offer 3 to 4 different breakfast sets for their customers to choose from. It could be fried eggs with sausages and sandwiches, or scrambled eggs with toasts. Typically, one or two breakfast sets would include a macaroni and ham soup. It’s downright simple as well as comforting. I loved this macaroni soup because it associates with my childhood memories. In many chilling mornings, my father and I liked to have breakfasts together in a cozy, local café near our home. We chatted over breakfasts before we went apart. He went north to work, I went east to school. The macaroni soup was my favourite choice at that time, as it energized and warmed me up. I couldn’t have the exact macaroni soup with my father again, yet my heart still feels the warmth when sipping the soup.

Notes:

• The macaroni soup that served in Hong Kong café doesn’t contain any peas or corn kernels, only with shredded ham. As for personal preference, I diced the ham to match with peas and corn kernels.
