Lotus Root Soup
Lotus root with peanuts is one of my favourite Chinese soups. Lotus root and peanuts is a great pairing in a Chinese soup, and personally I won’t cook this dish if I ran out of peanuts. I love the texture of slightly crunchy peanuts so if you like softer ones, you will need to simmer the soup for a bit longer. There is nothing like a bowl of home-cooked Chinese soup to perk me up in the middle of the week.

This is my piece of lotus root (pictured above). Wash off the mud before cutting. Sheng Siong also regularly sells washed and smaller sections of lotus root if you need smaller quantities.
I like the crunchiness of lotus root
Your 莲藕汤 has more ingredients than the usual. Nice.
I got some 莲藕 recently too!
I know what you mean! i ran out of peanuts once and it just was not the same!!
Pork ribs – yummy!
Mmm, lotus root soup is always a winner in my books! wish I could have a big bowl right now!
I am into healthy eating and I find soup like yours very nutritious and good!
Yummy, my kind of soup!
I was looking for those “cups” like yours for steamed soups while in Penang but couldn’t find them. Soups taste the best that way.
It looks very refreshing. I think dried cuttle fish is the finishing touch. Makes the soup more robust.
This is my kind of soup that I love to make at home..very healthy and delicious :)
