Since I rejected meat, I have been starving from nice soups. MIL and Mom think boiling soup must use chicken bones or pork ribs, or it will not be nice.
I found a recipe book on vegetarian soups. They are surprisingly delicious. That’s why I have been boiling a lot since early this year. I don’t really use any faux meat like many would guess. Natural vegetable ingredients can make soup even more delicious than meat based soup. And here is one example: Black Eye Beans and Peanuts Soup with Potatoes (马铃薯眉豆花生汤):
INGREDIENTS
100g black eye beans (眉豆)
100g peanuts
500g potatoes
6 red dates
2 slices ginger
1/4 dried tangerine peel
[You may add 6-8 dried oyster if you are not vegetarian]
METHOD
1. Wash peanuts and soak for 2 hours.
2. Wash black eye beans and soak for 30 min.
3. Peel potatoes and cut into chunks.
4. Wash and core red dates.
5. Soak dried tangerine peel until soft and remove pith.
6. Bring 1.5L water with dried tangerine peel to the boil. Add all other ingredients and bring to the boil again. Reduce to low heat and continue cooking for 2 hours.
Again, without any seasonings, this soup is very delicious. You may add some salt if you like.
