5-Colour Burdock Root Soup

I have often seen burdock root either at the supermarket or wet market and I have tried it before in soups at restaurant but I have never bought burdock to cook for myself (until recently).

The root of the young burdock plant or ngàuh-bóng in Cantonese (牛蒡) looks like wooden sticks. It is rich in fibre and low in calories.
