Winter melon and lotus leaf soup
This special fragrance comes from the lotus leaf.
Ingredients: Lotus leaf and wax gourd.
Gourmet: vegetarian
Description of dishes:
This is a vegetarian soup, but it is not a real clear soup. Compared with those old fire soups, vegetarian soup is naturally much lighter, but it tastes good. Clear soup in a glass container is more crystal clear. There are white wax gourd slices and two lotus flowers floating on the soup, which makes people feel pity at first sight. Put a spoonful in your mouth and smell the fragrance of lotus leaf, but there is no trace of lotus leaf. I didn't know the original soup was made of lotus leaves until I asked the chef. In order to remove the astringency of lotus leaves, some special raw materials were added, and the soup made has a refreshing special fragrance.
Among them, there is the fragrance of lotus leaf, but the shape of lotus leaf is not seen; There are lotus flowers floating on it, but they are just embellishments. All this is between lotus and vegetarian, which makes people feel very cool.
Although the winter melon and lotus leaf soup is simple, it tastes pure, and it really conforms to the essence of relieving summer heat and cooling down, both in taste and practice. There are many kinds of vegetarian soups, such as bitter melon soup and pumpkin soup, which are simple and peaceful.
Summer principle:
Light, not greasy, lotus leaf fragrance.
