Homegrown Rutabaga in Chicken Soup

Eleven days through the fasting month is making me feel weak. I was too sleepy that I had to stop and rest before I continue driving home. It was really bad that I can only cook simple food for break fasting. Fortunately, honey would not mind having just one main dish and one side dish. Dessert is simple too. I ate fruits like grapes, strawberries or peaches while Honey is enjoying his ice cream. I have so many things to do but time didn’t permit.

For tonight, I cook this simple homegrown rutabaga in chicken soup.
Ingredients
1 big rutabaga
4 pieces chicken back bone
1 medium onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 cardamon
1 stick cinnamon
5 cloves
3 star anise
1 tablespoon grated ginger
4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
