There are many options for cooling soup to relieve summer heat. The simplest thing is to make soup with all kinds of fruits, then let it cool and squeeze a few drops of lemon leaf juice in. Lemon tastes cool, and fruit is naturally slightly sweet. Many girls are keen on making this soup. In addition, there are many common summer-relieving soups, simple as vegetarian soup and complex as old fire soup, which need careful care.

The special flavor of wax gourd and lotus leaf soup comes from lotus leaf.

Ingredients: Lotus leaf and wax gourd.

Gourmet: vegetarian

Description: This is a vegetarian soup, but it is not really clear as water. 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.
