Lotus Root and Arrowroot Soup with Peanuts is a light, nourishing Chinese herbal soup known for its delicate flavor and health benefits. The lotus root adds a subtle crispness and natural sweetness, while the arrowroot (粉葛) contributes a mild, earthy taste with a smooth, starchy texture that thickens the broth. Peanuts lend a gentle sweetness and creamy nuttiness, balancing the flavors. Slow-cooked to perfection, the soup becomes rich in nutrients and offers a soothing, comforting experience, perfect for cold days or as a healing meal. Optional ingredients like red dates and dried cuttlefish add depth and umami.
