In fact, you can't be greedy for soup in summer, and a lot of cold food is easy to burden the spleen and stomach. Although some soups are hot, they have a particularly good effect of cooling and relieving summer heat and are beneficial to health.
Here, I recommend four kinds of summer-heat health-care soup for everyone. You can choose the soup that suits you best according to your personal situation.
Yiqi Jianpi: Radix Astragali and Radix Codonopsis Black Chicken Soup
1. Wash black-bone chicken and cut into pieces. Slice the lean pork and blanch it for later use.
2. Wash Radix Astragali, Radix Codonopsis, and Coicis Semen and put them in a casserole.
3. Add the right amount of water to the casserole. After the fire boils, turn it to low heat for an hour and a half, and season with salt.
Astragalus membranaceus is warm and sweet, Codonopsis pilosula nourishes blood and strengthens spleen, and Coix lachryma-jobi removes dampness and clears heat. In summer, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, which is prone to spleen and stomach weakness and loss of appetite. Using this soup to invigorate qi and spleen has a particularly good effect.
Clearing heat and promoting diuresis: Shage Sandou Decoction
1. Wash red beans, plum beans and lentils and soak them in clear water for 2 hours.
2, ribs washed and cut into pieces, blanched for use.
3. Wash Shage, peel, remove tendons and cut into pieces.
4. Put all the ingredients into the casserole, add appropriate amount of water and boil for 20 minutes, turn to low heat 1 hour, and add salt to taste.
Sage is a seasonal food in summer because it can clear away heat and promote fluid production. Many girls like to make dampness-removing soup with adzuki beans and coix seed. In fact, adding eyebrow beans and lentils will get better dehumidification effect.
Nourishing Yin and Keeping Healthy: Winter Melon Old Duck Soup
1. Wash the old duck and cut into pieces. Boil in cold water to remove blood foam.
2. Put star anise, onion, ginger, old duck and clear water into the casserole. After the fire boils, simmer for 30 minutes on medium heat.
3. Add wax gourd, stew for another 25 minutes, and season with salt.
As the saying goes, ducklings are wet and poisonous, while old ducks nourish yin? Duck meat is cool, nourishing yin and clearing heat, and it is very nutritious. If you are weak in summer, you'd better drink old duck soup to nourish yin and strengthen your body.
Supplementing water and salt: winter melon seaweed soup
1. Wash kelp and cook in water for 50 minutes.
2. Peel the wax gourd, cut into pieces, and cook in soup for 20 minutes.

Sweating in summer is easy to lose trace elements such as water, salt, electrolyte, potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium, and water-soluble vitamins such as vitamins C, B 1 and B2. Kelp is also rich in nutrients, which can effectively maintain the balance of water and salt in the body. ?
