Soups
Fresh Lotus Seed, Lily Bulb and Winter Melon Soup
Traditionally cools summer heat and supports the spleen
Why people make this soup
When the weather turns hot and muggy, winter melon is the pot’s anchor — one of the most cooling vegetables in traditional Cantonese cooking. Paired with fresh lotus seed and lily bulb, which are available at Chinese or Asian grocers when in season, a big pot of this soup is far more than a sweet dessert: it is a savoury, nourishing bowl traditionally associated with clearing summer heat, supporting the spleen, settling a restless heart and easing fitful sleep.
