Three bean soup

Overview

The recipe for Three Bean Soup comes from the Song Dynasty medical work "Zhu's Collection of Prescriptions". In the three-bean soup, mung beans and adzuki beans have the effects of clearing away heat, relieving heat, and diuresis, while black beans strengthen the spleen and kidneys. Mung beans and adzuki beans are both cold and cool. The addition of black beans can offset their coldness to a certain extent. Therefore, three bean soup can not only clear away heat and remove dampness, but also strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.
