Soup has been a traditional Chinese recipe to stay healthy, particularly for those living in Southern China. I recently came across a unique “7.1 Summer Vegetarian Soup” recipe in a Chinese Herbal Medicine Shop and would like to share.
The name of the soup “7.1” has double meaning. 1) July 1 is the middle of the summer in Hong Kong. 2) There are 7 main herbal ingredients. The naming was to make it easy.
Since the recipe is in Chinese, the translation of the ingredients may not be accurate. In case you are an English speaker who want to give the receipe a try. Please show the Chinese name of the ingredients when you buy them.
7種配料包括：芡實、淮山、炒扁豆、五指毛桃 、生薏米、土茯苓 、 荷葉。各一兩（50克）。
還需要1/2個陳皮，和2粒蜜枣。
煮法：老黃瓜洗淨，去核去囊，連皮切大件。荷葉略剪。粟米去鬚、切段。所有材料加6-8碗水，煲1-2小時。略加鹽即可飲用。
有糖尿病可用羅漢果代替蜜棗。此湯不適宜孕婦或月事中的女性。
