Lotus root Soup is very nutritious. It has many benefits like improve immune function, regulates blood pressure, aids constipation, energy booster and it is also a good blood building for ladies who just had heavy menstruation.
I love lotus root soup and it must be accompanied by lots of peanuts. My mom used to cook this with dried cuttlefish and it was yummylicious. But since my hubby doesn't like the smell of the dried cuttlefish, I had to forgo it in my soup. The dried cuttlefish is quite similar to dried oyster in some ways. If your family doesn't mind the dried cuttlefish smell, adding it to your soup will definitely elevates the flavor distinctly.
However, if your family doesn't like dried cuttlefish (like my hubby), you can add dried scallops for a more flavorful soup. If neither are added, just add more pork ribs and lotus root.

Notes for my Julie...
Hello my darling, if you have heavy menstruation, boil this soup to drink after your period. Must drink 3 days constantly (consecutive or within a week). Eat the lotus root as well. It will helps to replenish your red blood cells. Take care!
