Eight Treasure Soup is not only delicious but also very nutritious. Coix seed has the function of invigorating the spleen and eliminating dampness, peanuts contain a large amount of protein and unsaturated fatty acids, which can lower cholesterol. Mung beans have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and adzuki beans contain vitamin E, which can increase female estrogen. Adzuki beans can also improve immunity and enhance memory, and have good therapeutic effects on kidney deficiency and diabetes. I think carrots are the hero that makes the skin smooth, so I always like to add more carrots than other ingredients. The indispensable ingredient is fresh tofu skin, which can make the soup milky white and smooth in texture. Sweet corn adds a touch of sweetness to this soup.
