Pumpkin and mung beans are both considered to have clearing away heat and detoxifying effects in Chinese medicine. Pumpkin mung bean soup can clear away heat and relieve heat in summer, add moisture and enough inorganic salt. No matter how wealthy I was in my childhood, I often cooked pumpkin mung bean soup at home in the summer. At that time, it was cooked on a stove, and the pumpkin was cut into large pieces and cooked together. The yellow pumpkin in the bowl is wrapped in dark green and white mung beans, and white sugar is specially added on the top. When the sugar is eaten, the sugar is not melted, and it rattles when the sugar is chewed in the mouth-that sweet happiness! Thinking about it now, it's wonderful. The weather has been sultry and hot in the past few days after entering the Volcano this year. Today, I cooked pumpkin mung bean soup. I preferred the detox effect and chose to boil mung beans. For sugar, I used rock candy. A medium bowl is just right for a family of three. "
