This Chinese-style green bean soup is an easy Chinese soup dessert that is cooling and sweet, so suitable for the perpetual hot weather in Singapore. Green beans (or some call ‘mung beans’) are considered by Chinese as a ‘cooling’ food, and some believe it is a good natural alternative home remedy for acne.

I just love making this because it is so easy and tasty. The sago is optional, but I totally love the look and texture of sago in my green bean soup. Green bean soup is cooling, while red bean soup is warming. If you love both them both, do check out my easy red bean soup recipe.

Oh! This is one of my husband favorites…I usually add barley instead of tapioca pearls…I will try this next time :)
Have a wonderful week!
Ooooh…love this. It’s quite sometime I have not cooked it. Need to cook it again soon. My mom used to cook this for us when we were young. She always added some rice and a little ginger to it.
I just don’t understand I have never thought of cooking this dessert soup. I must try it out soon. :)
Its only this year that I’ve started eating these dessert soups and I’ve grown to really like them. Never tried this flavor before though!
Nice! I love green bean soup!
I soaked my beans for 24 hours.
and there are little shoots coming out…
Is it too late to cook them?
Yes, if shoots came out, you have over-soaked and you can’t use them.
