People who often cook soup will definitely ask that sweet potato sweet soup is suitable for winter drinking. Why do you drink it in summer?
The same thing, as long as you make a slight change, the result will be different. Even in the hot summer, you will get a cold if you are too cold, which is different from a hot cold; because staying up late and eating supper will cause spleen and stomach fatigue and constipation; because of the high temperature , Resulting in loss of appetite... Many of the problems encountered in summer, this sweet soup is still very suitable. As I said earlier, with a slight change, I reduced the amount of ginger in the traditional method and added lily, licorice, and cherries to reduce the heat and make the taste sweeter. This soup is also suitable for the company family who sits in front of the computer for a long time!

The benefits of lily and licorice have been explained in the previous sweet soup. For details, please click here: {snow ear licorice sweet soup} http://home.meishichina.com/recipe-71833.html
Let’s talk about the other two protagonists:
Sweet potato: The famous sweet potato has a strong effect of lowering blood cholesterol, maintaining blood acid-base balance, delaying aging, preventing cancer and anti-cancer. Rich in dietary fiber and colloids and other defecation substances, it can be described as "intestinal scavenger"
Cherry: A good beauty product that can relieve the discomfort symptoms of computer workers. Anti-anemia, promote blood production, expel wind and dampness, reduce astringency and relieve pain

However, sweet potatoes have high sugar and starch content, so you should not eat more at one time to avoid indigestion; and cherries in this sweet soup are only auxiliary materials, with high iron content and warm nature, so it is not suitable to eat too much at one time, so just put it in the pot immediately Just a few.

In addition, a friend asked why the color of the sweet potato soup I made was turbid, or even green, and even the sweet potato would change color? I will also share a little trick to make sure that the sweet soup will be smooth in color and sweet potato heart is soft~

Detox and Expectorant Dessert-{sweet Potato Sweet Soup}

Detox and Expectorant Dessert-{sweet Potato Sweet Soup} recipe

2. Here comes the trick! Cut the sliced sweet potatoes into hob pieces, soak them in clean water for 4-5 hours, changing the water several times in the middle. The sweet soup cooked in this way not only won't change color, but the sweet potatoes are also softer and more delicious! Lily is soaked in cold water

3. The sweet potatoes are soaked and ready to be prepared before processing the cherries. Use chopsticks to push out the cherry pits

4. Soaked lily, two slices of licorice, one small piece of ginger.

5. Do not use an iron pot to cook this sweet soup, otherwise the iron will react with the starch and easily turn black. Pour a little olive oil into the pot

6. Add ginger slices, saute, remove

7. Add potato wedges and stir fry

8. Add in water without sweet potatoes, add two slices of licorice, bring to a boil on high heat, skim off the foam, turn to low heat and simmer

9. When the sweet potatoes are slightly soft and rotten, add rock sugar. Because the licorice is left, there is no need for too much rock sugar. Skim the froth again

10. Then put in the lily soaked in advance, at this time the red color of the sweet potato has gradually become more colorful~

11. Simmer on low heat until the sweet potatoes are soft and rotten. Then remove from the fire, put the cherries in, and let it sit for a while, then you can eat it!

12. This sweet soup is delicious cold and hot. It is sweet but not greasy. The sweetness of sweet potato combined with the refreshing lily makes the soup cool. With only a small change, you can enjoy the deliciousness in winter and summer! It can also adapt to the seasons and provide the body's needs!

Tips:
In hot weather, the temperature is high and the sweet potato contains a lot of starch, so remember to put the sweet soup in the refrigerator if you haven't finished it, and drink it as soon as possible.
