Moringa/drumstick
leaves are great in making quick soup. It only takes few minutes for the leaves
to wilt and cook. You can use any stock base you like. For vegetarian version I
used soya beans stock. Thanks to a friend for sharing this great vegetarian
stock. With the stock and simple flavouring I can cook moringa leaves in egg
drop (egg flower) soup anytime!
