Why people make this soup

A good bowl of soup on a cold day is one of the warmest gestures you can offer someone you care for.

Lotus root, peanuts and red dates give a naturally sweet pot that is traditionally said to support the spleen, moisten the lungs, nourish the blood and brighten the complexion — especially welcome for anyone who looks pale or has little appetite.
