Burdock is a very inconspicuous vegetable. Generally, you can see a lot of burdock in supermarkets, but few people buy burdock, and the taste of burdock is not good. At first glance, burdock looks a bit like a reduced version of yam. The thick black skin is indeed a hidden natural "tonic". Burdock has always been called a vegetable ginseng, and it contains a lot of nutrients, especially if you eat burdock. It can improve the body's immunity and has a good effect on relieving and curing constipation. Burdock has the effects of dispelling wind, heat dissipation, detoxification, swelling, and throat relief. It is used for wind-heat and cold, cough, sore throat, constipation, dizziness caused by wind and fire, tinnitus and deafness, and dizziness. Toxic toothache, gum swelling and pain

Corn Carrot Burdock Soup

1. Prepare burdock, carrots, corn, and fresh yam. The burdock is very long. I cut a section to make the soup.

2. The yam is peeled, washed, and soaked in water to avoid blackening. Because it is not resistant to fire, add it to the soup for the last 15 minutes.

3. Pork bones are blanched, rinsed and drained

4. Put 1.5-2 liters of water in another pot and put the pork bones

5. Use a brush to clean the black material on the outer skin of burdock, slice it and put it in water. Burdock skin also contains a lot of nutrients, and it is very thin, so it only needs to be washed when used to make soup. Slice for better taste.

6. Peel the carrots, cut into thick slices and put them in water.

7. Put small pieces of corn into the water and turn on fire

8. Turn off the heat after the soup boils.

9. Then pour the soup and water into the electric saucepan

10. Add ginger slices and dense dates

12. Add yam in the last half an hour, press the quick boiling button again, and cook until the end

Tips:
This soup is for 4 people. Points to note when using burdock is that burdock contains a lot of iron, which is easy to oxidize and turn black and brown after peeling. Therefore, the cut burdock should be soaked in clean water immediately to prevent it from browning. In addition, the burdock skin also contains a lot of nutrients and is very thin. It is only necessary to wash the burdock in soup. If it is used for cold dressing or other purposes, it can be gently scraped off with the back of a knife or scrubbed with a coarse cloth.
