In the heat of summer, a bowl of refreshing Cantonese soup always brings a touch of coolness and moisturizes the soul.

Just like Guangdong's food culture, there are a wide variety of Cantonese soups, allowing me to savor different tastes in the summer.

Today, I would like to share some of my personal favorite Cantonese soups that are suitable for summer, so let's experience this refreshing flavor together.

1. Watermelon Spare Ribs Soup:(Watermelon rind is cool, spare ribs are flat, into the spleen and stomach can nourish Yin and blood. The combination of the two things has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, quenching thirst and diuretic)

One of my summer lunch experiences has made me extraordinarily attached to this soup. The sun was high in the sky that day, and I was a little impatient with the heat after being out in the sun all morning.

When I got home, my mom had prepared a pot of watermelon rib soup ahead of time. When I walked into the kitchen, I smelled the sweet aroma of watermelon and the flavorful aroma of pork chop soup, and I immediately felt a coolness coming to my heart.

Mom put the selected pork bones and watermelon rind into the pot together, and simmered it for several hours over moderate heat.

The soup contains not only the freshness of the pork ribs, but also the sweetness of the watermelon rind, which blends together to create a unique flavor. I picked up a bowl and the first mouthful of soup slipped into my mouth, and the cool sensation instantly soothed my body and mind, as if all my worries had been dispelled.

Through the understanding, I learned that this watermelon rib soup not only has the effect of clearing the heat, but also rich in vitamins and minerals, very beneficial to the body.

Especially in summer, a bowl of this soup can not only quench the heat and thirst, but also replenish nutrients and enhance physical strength.

I was so inspired that I decided to drink more of such Cantonese soups in the summer in the future, so that I can better adapt to the hot weather.

2. Bitter Melon Pork Bone Soup:(This soup is bitter, sweet and moist, with the effect of clearing summer heat, brightening the eyes and detoxifying the toxins, it is a summer soup to relieve the summer heat)

On that day, I tasted this Bitter Melon Pork Bone Soup in a small alleyway restaurant.

At first, I was quite intrigued by the combination of bitter melon and pork bone simmered together. However, when my first bite of the soup slipped into my mouth, I was overwhelmed by the refreshing taste and mildly bitter flavor.

Despite the word "bitter" in its name, the bitter gourd and pork bone soup was not bitter, but rather had a refreshing flavor, as if a coolness ran through the body.

I noticed that the soup was a clever blend of the freshness of the pork bone and the coolness of the bitter melon.

I learned that bitter gourd and pork bone soup is regarded as a summer cooler in Guangdong, as the bitter gourd clears away heat while the pork bone soup replenishes energy.

This soup satisfies people's appetite and also plays an indispensable role in health and wellness.

Besides its efficacy in health and wellness, I was y impressed by the culinary wisdom behind the Bitter Melon Pork Bone Soup.

Cooking this soup involves peeling and scraping the flesh from the bitter melon before simmering it with the pork bones to maintain the soup's refreshing flavor. Such meticulousness and patience gave me a deeper understanding of the techniques of cooking beautiful Cantonese soups.

I even decided to try making this soup myself at home, not as professionally, but with the joy of cooking it.

3. Winter Melon Ribs Soup:(This soup is light and pleasant, with the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying the toxin, promoting dampness and stagnation, lowering lipids and blood pressure, and facilitating the passage of urine)

One day I went into the kitchen, and my mom was making soup, and there was a clear and transparent Winter Melon Ribs Soup in front of me.

Under the smoldering heat of the fire, the soup surfaced slightly hot, but not suffocating. I scooped up a spoonful and the heat greeted me, but the first bite was so cool and refreshing that it seemed to instantly dispel all the summer heat.

The sweetness of the winter melon and the freshness of the pork ribs blend just right in the soup, forming a unique flavor. Each bite gave me a wonderful feeling of nourishment and comfort at the same time.

I learned that winter melon and pork chop soup not only quenches summer heat and thirst, but also helps to remove heat and nourish the skin. This beautiful Cantonese soup is truly a nourishing summer dish.

Whenever the summer heat comes, I can't wait to taste a bowl of winter melon rib soup and feel the nourishing coolness.

This Cantonese soup has become an integral part of my summer diet, bringing me freshness and pleasure on my tongue.

4. Silver Fungus and Snow Pear Soup:(It has the effect of nourishing Yin and clearing heat, strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing the liver, moisturizing the lungs and removing phlegm)

I remember one time, I tasted this delicious Silver Fungus and Snow Pear Soup in the home of a friend.

In the heat of summer, this bowl of soup brought a breeze that made me feel soothing and pleasant.

I found that the combination of silver fungus and snow pear not only made the soup rich and varied in flavor, but also made it wonderful to taste and feel both moisturized and cooled.

Ginkgo fungus, as an herbal ingredient, has the ability to moisturize the lungs and clear heat, while Snow Pear generates fluids, moisturizes the lungs, and quenches heat and thirst.

The combination of these two not only provides an effective solution to summer thirst, but also helps to regulate body temperature and make one feel more and more comfortable.

I y appreciate the way Cantonese soups are prepared to maximize the effectiveness of the combination of ingredients and to nourish one's body while drinking them.

In addition to this, Silver Fungus and Snow Pear Soup is able to moisturize and nourish the skin, giving it a layer of hydration and protection.

Every time I taste it, I feel the gift of nature and the magic of herbal ingredients. The heat of summer seems to be swept away by this bowl of soup, replaced by a soothing and moisturizing.

Since then, I always like to cook a pot of Silver Fungus and Snow Pear Soup in the summer, making it a delicious choice to relieve my summer heat.

Every time I taste it, it is like enjoying the gift of nature, which makes me feel fresh and happy in the hot summer.

This Cantonese soup not only satisfies my taste buds, but also brings me nourishment and coolness, making it an indispensable and delicious summer experience.

Bebe's words:

Summer's Cantonese soups are not only a great way to cool down the heat, but also a refreshing treat for our taste buds.

By tasting the summer health soup, cold bitter melon soup, watermelon soup and stewed snow fungus and lotus seed soup, I not only felt the deliciousness, but also the profoundness of Guangdong food culture.

Let's savor the coolness and deliciousness of Cantonese soups in this summer, and feel the unique taste of summer.
