“My soup is so popular,” she said.
‘All the elderly have put a few in their containers so they can go to work tomorrow [laughing].

Fans were impressed by the video and wanted to know how to make the soup themselves.
“The soup recipe is in high demand, it is so easy to make and so tasty,” said Sue.
