If you can find Tangerine Peels (which i dont have with me) Soak until soft and scrape the inner side out and place in cold water when start boiling. This will help cough. As for the Dried Duck Kidneys if you can find them. Soak for 30 mins, sliced and place in boiling water for 1 min then take out (place it when cooking the soup later)
- Pork Cut in chunks place in cold water then cook until its boiling for max 4 to 5 mins. Take out and rinse well. Why we do this is to take out the blood and pork smell and also clean out the pork.
- Get a Big Pot half pot full of water. Cold Water pop all ingredients in except the watercess High Heat for 15 mins mins Cover Lids. (you can pop in those peels and duck kidneys in if you have)

- After a total of 2 hrs you will see there should be only half pot full from evaporation. Taste the soup, add in little salt if needed. Now add in the rest of watercress in and cook for another 15mins. Served hot. Done!
