Another comfort food for rainy nights. Lotus root is so nutritious and crunchy. And I love it even more when it’s used to make Chinese soup.
Lotus Root Soup
Ingredients
(Serves 3)
400g lotus root, scrubbed, peeled and sliced thinly
1/2 chicken, skin removed and blanched in hot water for a few minutes
4 pieces Huai Shan
1/2 carrot, sliced or cut to chunks
6 red dates
2 tsp wolfberries
1.5 liters water
Salt (optional)

Your version has so much more goodies in there. I like lotus roots soup. Cooked mine with peanuts. =)
A comforting soup to drink…
*soop…soop* (noisily drinking) :P
Always done mine with pork ribs. Interesting variation with chicken. I have to try it with red dates and wolfberries.
Merry Xmas and a happy 2008!
You add huai san! Hmmm … must try it next time!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you! :)
Thanks everyone… Happy New Year!
I’ve been looking for a lotus root recipe with chicken instead of the pork ribs & peanuts that I’m used to.
Pork is just so expensive these days.
