In the hot summer, many people like to drink some cooling soups. For example, kelp soup has a good cooling effect. Below, I will recommend several ways to make kelp soup, which not only tastes delicious but also has high nutritional value!
Method 1: Kelp and mung bean soup
1. Wash the glutinous rice and mung beans separately. Soak the tangerine peel in water until soft, then cut into shreds. Wash the kelp and cut it into small pieces.
2. Add 1500ml of water to a clay pot and bring it to a boil. Add the mung beans and cook for 10 minutes. Then add the glutinous rice, kelp slices, tangerine peel shreds, and ginger shreds. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 40 minutes until thick.
3. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Then turn off the heat.
Method 2: Tomato and kelp soup
1. Cut the tomatoes into chunks. Dice the potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and lean meat.
2. Boil the noodles in water and remove them when cooked. Rinse with cold water. If you are not eating them immediately, you can mix them with a little sesame oil and salt, then cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
3. Heat the oil in a pan, add shredded ginger and stir-fry the lean meat. Add a small amount of cooking wine and stir-fry until cooked. Then add the tomato chunks and stir-fry until the soup comes out. Add the other ingredients and stir-fry. Add salt, seasonings, and chicken powder. Stir-fry until cooked. Pour the soup over the noodles.
Method 3: Kelp and soybean sprouts soup
1. Soak the dried kelp in water for a few hours, changing the water several times. Cut the kelp into shreds. Wash the soybean sprouts and slice the ginger.
2. Put the kelp shreds, soybean sprouts, and ginger slices in a pot. It's best to use a clay pot. Fill it with water and simmer on low heat for an hour. The longer the better, but be careful not to let it dry out. Add water if necessary.
3. Before turning off the heat, add a little salt, soy sauce, and sesame oil. The taste is very delicious.
Method 4: Winter melon and kelp soup
1. Pour water into a pot and add the kelp. Boil for 45-50 minutes.
2. Peel the winter melon and cut it into slices about 1.5 cm thick. Add it to the soup and continue cooking until the winter melon becomes tender (you can add ginger shreds at this time to prevent coldness).
3. Add a little salt and chicken powder to season the soup. Remove from heat. The soup is now ready with color, aroma, and taste.
