GRANDMA'S CHINESE VEGETABLE SOUP

Grandma's Chinese Vegetable Soup image

My grandmother used to make this clear soup to be served during our family-style dinners. It is a soup that can be made in the slow cooker or slowly simmered on the stove top and makes for a very comforting meal when served with rice on a cold day.
