Another appetising, nutritious soup recipe, rich in fibre and suitable for the whole family shared by Agnes Chan in her book 'Let's Eat'. I used pork ribs instead of chicken for this soup.
The soup is very tasty and not oily at all eventhough pork ribs are used.
Ingredients - modified
[serves 3-4]
350 gm soft bone pork ribs - bite size pieces
30 gm peanuts - rinsed and soaked for 3 hours
1 cm piece da tou chai - washed and sliced - soaked for 10 minutes
1 carrot - peeled and cut bite size pieces [omit]
150 gm lotus root - washed and sliced
5 red dates
1 litre water
- Blanch pork ribs in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Drain and rinse to remove scums.
- Place all ingredients in a soup pot. Bring to boil over high heat, then lower heat to simmer for 45 minutes or until the peanuts and pork ribs are tender.
- Taste to adjust seasoning [soup is salty enough].
- Dish out to serve hot with rice.

I cook this rather frequent but have never tried with 'ta tau choy'...maybe, I'll do so next time.
yum...this is a simple and healthy soup that my family will enjoy for sure. :) perfect for this colder season.
Hi Soke Hah, I like all the ingredients in this soup but not my hubby, too much chewing, hehehe!
Yes Amy, boiling 'hot' soup is always welcome during cold weather.
This is such a lovely soup. I have not tried boiling it with ta tau choy, must give it a try.
Hi Joyce, usually I would thought of using Szechuan chye instead of ta tau choy.
Kimmy, I love lotus root soup! But I have not tried putting peanuts in soup.
Hi Phong Hong, I like to munch on the peanuts, it's not soft but sweet and fragrant.
