Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Clean and peel 1 section of lotus root and set aside. When making lotus root soup, it is recommended that you choose the back section of a whole lotus root. Because the latter sections contain more lotus root powder, they are suitable for making soup or lotus root soup. If it is fried lotus root, choose the first section. The top section of lotus root is crispy and sweet, which is more suitable for cold salad or stir-frying.

   

2. 2 Cut the lotus root into small pieces and rinse in water.

   

3. 3 Add a little water to the lotus root and put it into a food processor to make a puree.

   

4. 4 Put the lotus root puree into the pot and add 3 bowls of water. If too little water is added, the lotus root soup will be extremely sticky, like a thick paste, and the taste will not be good. It's too thin and doesn't have that smooth texture. Everyone should control the amount of water when doing it.

   

5. 5 Bring to a boil. During the cooking process, the lotus root soup will become thicker and thicker, and it needs to be stirred continuously during the cooking process.

   

6. 6 Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and osmanthus to the boiled lotus root soup, and then sprinkle a little dried osmanthus to enhance the aroma. Sugar osmanthus is osmanthus paste, which is sweeter and has the fragrance of osmanthus. It tastes great when put into lotus root soup. You can also add rose sauce according to your personal taste.
