Walnut, chestnut and lotus root soup

Ingredients: 2 taels of walnuts, 1 jin of lotus roots, 2 taels of lotus seeds, 8 taels of chestnuts, 1 piece of tangerine peel, 10 red dates

Method: Wash all the ingredients, cut the lotus root into large pieces, remove the cores of the red dates and lotus seeds. Put 8 minutes full of water in the pot, first add the tangerine peel, wait until the water boils, then add all the ingredients. Cook on high heat for 20 minutes, then reduce to low heat and continue cooking for 2 hours. This soup has a sweet taste. The walnuts, chestnuts and lotus seeds will gelatinize after being cooked for a long time, making the whole soup thicker. It should be noted that when making soup, both lotus seeds and red dates must be cored and pitted, because the green core in the lotus seeds tastes bitter, and the whole pot of soup will become bitter after being cooked for a long time. The red date core is more likely to cause internal heat, so it must be removed when making soup.
