Here is a very fast and easy hmong / asian catfish soup tutorial. I hope you enjoy it! Please leave me a comment if you try this dish! Some of you may or may not eat MSG anymore, but I can tell you that MSG does add a different flavor to this dish. I'm not going to debate if MSG is good for you or not, but people use MSG in soups to enhance the flavor.
