There is a saying in Guangdong that "it's better to eat without meat than to eat without soup". Whether it's moist and dry raw porridge or nourishing and healthy old fire soup, it's a "health password" passed down from generation to generation by the old people. In addition to being good at cooking soup with meat, Cantonese people also like to cook "vegetarian soup" with various ingredients. Here, "vegetarian" means vegetarian soup, and vegetarian soup means vegetarian soup. All ingredients used without meat are vegetarian, and the cooked soup is refreshing, not greasy, sweet and nourishing, and it is a nutritious soup suitable for family drinking in autumn.

When it comes to Bao Zhai Tang, Cantonese people are experts in this field. There are always many good ingredients for Bao Zhai Tang at home. Among them, sea coconut slices are the standing soup for Guangdong families. It is a coconut variety that grows in Thailand by the sea. Sea coconut has the functions of nourishing yin, moistening dryness and relieving autumn dryness. After autumn, the dried sea coconut slices are mixed with apples, gorgons and medlar to make soup. The sweet coconut fragrance is mixed with a touch of apple aroma, which is a combination of alcohol, freshness, fragrance and moistening. Drinking a bowl can moisten the throat and reduce dryness, but also nourish the body. The practice is shared with everyone.

Required ingredients: sea coconut slice 1 5g, apple 1 piece, Euryale ferox10g, Lycium barbarum1small handful, and appropriate amount of crystal sugar.

1, sea coconut slices are cleaned and soaked in warm water for about 15 minutes. Sea coconut slices are dry goods, so they need to be soaked before cooking soup, and nutrients will be more easily precipitated into the soup, and the coconut will be rich in fragrance and nutrition. The soaked water need not be poured, but it can be poured into the pot when cooking soup.

2. Wash the gorgon fruit and soak it for more than 2 hours. If you buy the old gorgon fruit, you need to soak it one night in advance, and soak the medlar for 5 minutes after washing.

Tip: Euryale ferox is the mature seed of Nymphaeaceae plant "Euryale ferox". The fruit looks like the head of a chicken, so it is also called "the head of a chicken". Euryale ferox, which is homologous to medicine and food, is rich in starch, which can provide people with calcium, phosphorus, iron and other vitamins and carbon substances. It is a kind of food with high nutritional content. The ancients even said that it has the effect of "not getting old for babies, but prolonging life for the elderly". It is not strict in tonic, and it is not greasy. It is especially suitable for tonic in autumn, but dry Euryale ferox is more difficult to cook.

3, clean the apple, remove the inner core, cut into pieces of uniform size, try not to go to the apple skin, and cook soup together is more nutritious.

4. Add sea coconut slices, Euryale ferox and 2 bowls of clear water to the pot, stew for 10 minute, then pour in the cut apple pieces, stir well and cook for about 5 minutes.

5. Cook until the coconut fragrance of the sea coconut comes out and the apples are soft and rotten. Pour in the soaked medlar and a little rock sugar, stir well, then cook 1 min, and turn off the fire. A bowl of coconut-scented sea coconut apple soup is ready.

After autumn, vegetarian soup appears less frequently on the dining table than all kinds of meat stew. In fact, vegetarian soup doesn't feel vegetarian at all after the ingredients are matched. It is simple and nutritious, and there is no need to stew for a long time. In autumn and winter, big fish and big meat drink too much. Come to a bowl of vegetarian soup to clear the stomach and scrape oil, adjust the diet structure, and also make the body healthier.
