Lotus Root Soup

Not an appetising pic though, I'll put up another better another time.


This soup is good for hot and humid summer weather as lotus root is known as a "cooling" veg. It has a crunchy texture and has a mild taste, even the kids will like it! The peanut and black beans will add an extra nice and fragnant aroma to the soup. Refreshing and will definitely boost your appetite!





Lotus Root (skin peeled and sliced)



INGREDIENTS:
Lotus Root (washed & skin peeled)
Half kg of chicken (skin removed)
2 cloves of garlic
1 whole piece of dry scallop (optional)
1 bowl of black beans (soaked)
1 bowl of peanuts (soaked)
Salt

DIRECTIONS:
- Separate the chicken parts


- meat parts (breast/chiclen wing) and bone parts (thigh/drumsticks/chicken feet)
- Cook the thigh, chicken feet and drumsticks (all boney meats) in a pot of boiling water
