Lotus Root Soup is a flavorful and nutritious dish widely enjoyed in Chinese cuisine, particularly as a comforting meal during cooler months. The soup typically combines sliced lotus root with pork ribs or chicken, dried peanuts, and various herbs like goji berries or red dates, simmered for hours to create a rich, aromatic broth. Lotus root, the star ingredient, is packed with dietary fiber, vitamin C, and essential minerals like potassium and manganese, making it beneficial for digestion, immunity, and heart health. The peanuts add healthy fats and protein, while the herbs contribute antioxidants and traditional healing properties. While the soup is generally low in calories and high in nutrients, its sodium content can vary depending on added seasonings. Lotus Root Soup is not only a nourishing dish but also a culturally significant comfort food for many families across Asia.
