Qpc Papaya Soup
When I was on confinement, my mum made this soup for me at least twice a week. The Chinese believe that drinking more payaya soup will invoke higher production of breast milk. While the effectiveness of the chicken and papaya soup has never been verified by evidence based any scientific research, chicken is a good source of protein, and papayas are packed with minerals and vitamins A, C and E. These two main ingredients combined provide a healthy and nutritious meal for anyone, even more so for a breastfeeding mum. I love it because it is so delicious. Idon’t only drink the soup but I eat all the papayas as well.
