Lady Fingers and White Flat Bean Soup

These insects on lady fingers and "White Flat Beans"(白扁豆）were shot at the backyard of a row of terrace house where the residents grow them for their own consumption.

Chinese likes to make soup by using this' White Flat Beans " with pork ribs. 
The Chinese believes that the bean is rich in protein, carbohydrate, fat, calcium, phosphorus, fiber, Vitamin A , Vitamin B1, B2 and Vitamin C.
