Watercress and Kidney Pork Bone Soup (Cantonese-style soup)

Watercress and Kidney Soup is a classic Cantonese soup. The salty aroma of the kidney stimulates the appetite and aids digestion, while also adding a richer flavor to the base. The combination of sweet and apricot kernels moistens the lungs and relieves coughs, without leaving a dry taste.

This soup is refreshing and soothing, relieving both greasiness and dryness. No wonder Cantonese people love it!

Fresh and sweet lotus root, peanut, and squid soup

Dried squid is rich in high-quality protein and minerals such as calcium and iron, which can supplement essential amino acids for the body; lotus root is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and enhance immunity; peanuts provide plant protein and unsaturated fatty acids, and the nutrients are fully released after boiling. The protein, dietary fiber, and various minerals in the soup work synergistically to nourish the spleen and replenish the deficiency while moisturizing the skin. It is a healthy and nutritious soup with both inner beauty and taste. Tips: If you want to save time and retain the taste, it is more convenient to use a pressure cooker! Compared with slow cooking, high-pressure stewing can make the ingredients release the freshness faster, and lotus root pieces and peanuts can be quickly cooked to be soft and glutinous, and the purine content is even lower, so it is more burden-free to drink~
