Tips:
1. Before boiling the soup in the pot, blanch it with water to remove the blood;
2. When buying lotus root, you should choose a lotus root with short knots, thick body, and yellowish-brown skin. This kind of lotus root has a more delicious taste. If it is used for soup, I like to choose a more dense taste;
3. The cooking utensils for the soup can be chosen freely. I use a pressure cooker, which saves time, so the cooking time is about 20 minutes; if you use a casserole or other soup pot, the cooking time needs to be extended, generally 2 About hours
4. When boiling the soup, add enough water at a time. Do not add additional water in the middle. If you must add it, heat the water instead of cold water.
