Soups can be divided into simple and complex, but seemingly simple soups have a good effect of reducing summer heat in summer. A bowl of soup has different contents, but it is similar in essence: it is easy to relax in the soup. Soup and water seem to be naturally relaxing food, either before or after meals, which is harmless and essential. In this hot summer, a simple and ordinary bowl of soup or just the whole meal.
There are many options for cooling soup to relieve summer heat. The simplest one is to boil soup with various fruits, then let it cool, and squeeze a few drops of lemon leaf juice into it. Lemon has a cool taste, 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, all of which need careful care.

The special aroma of wax gourd lotus leaf soup comes from the lotus leaves
Ingredients: lotus leaves, wax gourd
Cuisine: vegetarian
Description: This is a pure vegetarian soup, but it is not really clear soup. Compared with those old fire soups, the vegetarian soup is naturally a lot lighter, but the taste is not bad. The clear soup is placed in a glass container, which is even more crystal clear. There are slightly white wax gourd slices and two lotus flowers floating on the soup, which makes you feel pity at first sight. Put a spoonful in your mouth and smell the fragrance of lotus leaves, but there is no trace of lotus leaves. Only after asking the chef did I know that the original soup was made of lotus leaves. In order to remove the astringency of lotus leaves, some special raw materials were added, and the soup made has a refreshing special fragrance.
There is the fragrance of lotus leaves, but the shape of lotus leaves is not seen; There are lotus flowers floating on it, but they are just embellishments. All this between lotus and vegetarianism makes people feel cool.
Although the white gourd lotus leaf soup is simple, it has a pure taste, which is in line with the essence of relieving summer heat and cooling 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.

There is a slight hemp in the fragrance of taro and vegetable balls soup
. There is a saying in Sichuan: meat is in charge for three days, and soup is in charge of everything.
This taro and vegetable pill soup looks pleasing to the eye, with a slightly yellow soup color. There are taro pills and meatballs in it, which are listed in different levels. Take a bite, there is a fragrance and a slight hemp. The reason is that there are flowers and peppers. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a beauty in seasoning, especially the flower pepper, which tastes like a girl in the prime of life, slightly shy, but not too hot. The meat is made of third-line meat, which is actually pork belly. Before making meatballs, some coriander should be added to make them fresh, so that the taste is more smooth and tender. The taro is steamed in advance, and its taste is soft and a little sweet.
Taro is very exquisite and accurate in Sichuan cuisine. For example, a famous taro chicken is naturally delicious. The soup is very warm, with some pepper flavor, which is not light. You can taste a creamy mellow fragrance. This taste is suitable for summer enjoyment and sharing by several people.

Pork ribs, cold soup, chicken feet, black chicken feet and taste generous
.
naturally, ribs and chicken feet are indispensable in this soup. The chicken feet here are made of black-bone chicken feet, which are more nutritious and taste more generous. There are always some other things in Cantonese-style soup. In this soup, there are yam, adenophora, medlar, coix seed and red dates, and all kinds of raw materials are mixed and fragrant, which makes a soup.
Actually, this soup is not produced in a Cantonese restaurant, but in a Shaoxing restaurant. Shaoxing chefs naturally have another charm in cooking soup, that is, precision and meticulousness.
when you put the soup into your mouth with a spoon, it is fragrant at first, but not greasy at all. When the soup enters your throat, it is slightly sweet, and your mind is naturally calm. A bowl of good soup that took a long time needs to be carefully tasted. In this fast era, we lack the slowness of a bowl of soup and need the leisurely feeling in the soup, so find it out from a bowl of soup.

Apple tremella lean broth is the best
● Zhou Ya, female, 25 years old, company employee
I like to make my own soup and drink it with my boyfriend in summer, and my boyfriend also likes to eat my soup, which makes me feel particularly fulfilled. What I often make is apple tremella lean broth, which is simple but delicious. Slice the lean meat into thick slices, cut the apple into pieces, and cut the carrot into pieces. Apples and carrots need not be peeled, because the peel is rich in nutrition; Then add about 6 bowls of water to the pot, add lean meat, apples, candied dates and carrots, boil, and simmer for about 3 minutes. Finally, add the washed and soaked tremella, and after about 2 minutes, add salt and get out of the pot.
