The formula, ingredients and cooking methods of five-color healthy vegetable soup are circulated among many housewives, and everyone can make it by themselves.

This book also made the bestseller lists of 200 1 and 2002.
The book recorded the benefits and cooking methods of vegetable soup in detail, and soon spread among the people. Many housewives who pay attention to healthy eating even "carry forward" five-color vegetable soup. Housewife Zhao Yi's family has been drinking five-color vegetable soup for more than a year. She said it was introduced by a friend and finally passed it on to her. She said: "Carrots, white radishes, mushrooms and the like are all vegetables with great nutritional value. My friend just tasted it and found it very effective, so he strongly recommended it to me. I think eating more vegetables is always good for your health, and it is a very cheap thing. It doesn't hurt to try, it's better than spending hundreds of dollars on healthy food. "
Expert opinion: As early as in Huangdi Neijing, it was recorded that people should eat foods with five colors, five flavors and five spices if they want to be healthy. It can be seen that our ancestors realized the importance of a balanced diet as early as 3000 years ago. Carrots, mushrooms and burdock are all anti-cancer vegetables, especially white radish, which is rich in vitamins and can decompose starch and carbon monoxide. They are especially suitable for people who often eat meat or like high-quality food to help them get rid of waste.
Cooking soup with five-color vegetables has diuretic effect. Modern people spend most of their time hiding in air-conditioned rooms, sweating little, which is harmful to their health. Drinking more vegetable soup can improve this problem. Experts suggest that among the five ingredients of "five-color health vegetable soup", most readers may be unfamiliar with "burdock". According to experts, burdock is also known as oriental radish, and Chinese medicine is called Popeye, and Chinese medicine uses its seeds as medicine. Its underground rhizome (yellow) is a vegetable, and its fleshy root is rich in nutrition, which has the effects of nourishing yin, strengthening yang, tonifying kidney and strengthening body. It is a kind of vegetable which can be used as medicine and food. It is understood that drinking burdock tea and eating burdock this winter has become the mainstream of fashion catering in Beijing and other places, and some local food cities have also held burdock food festivals. Burdock is not widely planted in China at present, and it may be difficult to find it in some places. However, experts believe that if you really can't buy burdock, you might as well switch to another yellow vegetable when making "five-color health vegetable soup", such as using yellow pumpkin instead of burdock. Experts remind: although folk health remedies are all healthy foods, the curative effect varies from person to person, because everyone's physique is different and cannot be generalized. Enough is enough, and eating too much will not get better. Don't blindly follow the trend because of what is popular in the market. Learn more about the value of food and then eat according to your own needs.
