Soups
Lotus Leaf, Fresh Lotus Seed and Winter Melon Soup
traditionally associated with clearing summer heat, draining dampness, and supporting digestion
Why people make this soup
On a sweltering summer day — the kind where the air feels thick and afternoon rainstorms offer no real relief — a cooling soup is one of the most practical things you can put on the stove. Old winter melon, with its skin dusted in natural white frost, is a classic midsummer ingredient. Paired with fresh lotus seeds, organic coix seed and mung beans, it makes a soup that is clean-tasting, lightly fragrant, and genuinely refreshing. Nourilo often adds a piece of fresh lotus leaf to bring a pleasant aromatic lift to the whole pot.
What makes this soup especially appealing is its temperament: it is neither too cooling nor too warming, which means practically everyone in the family — from grandparents to young children — can enjoy it together.
