Lotus Leaf Winter Melon Three-Bean Soup
traditionally used to clear summer heat, support urination, relieve dampness, and improve appetite
In short: Lotus Leaf Winter Melon Three-Bean Soup is a soup that traditionally used to clear summer heat, support urination, relieve dampness, and improve appetite. It is most often made for digestive wellness, cooling & summer heat. Total time about 75 min. Key ingredients: lotus leaf, adzuki beans, mung beans, hyacinth beans / flat beans.
Why people make this soup
When summer heat is at its most relentless, people with weaker constitutions — the elderly, pregnant women, those carrying extra weight, or anyone managing thyroid or metabolic conditions — are more vulnerable to feeling overheated, fatigued, and bloated. Nourilo recommends this soup as a practical, family-friendly way to support the body during that time. The combination of lotus leaf, winter melon, and three varieties of bean is a classic in Cantonese food therapy, and the result is a light, slightly sweet broth that cools without being harsh on the digestion.
