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!
