Mr. Liu's Great Idea

I'm tutoring a man from Taiwan who gave me an idea. He described a soup he made of Chinese cabbage, pieces of pork ribs, tofu, fresh mushrooms and chicken soup powder. He made his soup for supper, but he told me it makes a good breakfast, too. I'm a terrible cook, but I made a version of it; and it was my breakfast today.
I used escarole, a few small pieces of Polish sausage, habichuelas rojas (red beans), vegetable soup base, and a packet of sazon con azafran. I put it in a big pot, boiled it up, and it was (surprise!) good. So, I had an Italian vegetable, Polish and Puerto Rican protein, and American soup base. A United Nations meal! Thank you, Mr. Liu!
