Also, salt to taste, because when you have a sore throat, you don’t want it too salty. You can use whichever form of ham you’d like. I love using spam, but all I had were ham slices that I julienned today. But since it’s so popular in our house now, with one person getting sick, then another, then another, I might as well offer my version of this soup. I didn’t take any pictures of the process, because I wasn’t planning on posting it. Getting off track here daydreaming about food vacations, need to focus on soup! And desserts with mango in between each meal. HK macaroni noodle soup, congee, fried crullers and warm soy milk every morning for breakfast, followed by endless amounts of dim sum, an array of street foods, and all the banquets we can afford. One day, I can’t wait to take them to Hong Kong, because I feel like it would be their (and my) food heaven. And sometimes they’d even request it when they’re not sick because it’s their quintessential comfort food. When I grew even older, and I had my own kids, I’d make this for them. It’s not as common as congee, but then again, maybe I wasn’t look for it hence why I never saw it until then. Then after I grew up, and went out to NYC’s Chinatown for breakfast, I saw HK style macaroni soup everywhere. My mom made it with chicken broth, peas and carrots, cubes of spam, and macaroni noodles, only seasoned with some salt and few dashes of pepper (white or black). I always ate this soup when I had a cold and it was something easy and soothing, not too hard on a sore throat, just to get some fluids in when nothing sounded good to me. Growing up, I didn’t realize this soup was a thing.
