A very simple, healthy and slightly sweet soup to make that is ideal for all seasons and weather. The ingredients are all very neutral, although the mushrooms aren’t the easiest ingredients to find, but you’re welcome to used the dried version instead or other mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms (or Chinese mushrooms) or shimeji mushrooms.
This soup is relatively neutral because of the pork bones, corn, and mushrooms. The chayotes are slightly cooling, but in general, aren’t extremely cooling (like winter melon or other melons).

This is the simple arrowroot soup. This soup is high in protein and fiber. It is a very neutral soup and requires little effort to make it. Some people really love to eat the arrowroot once its been boiled in a soup (like my mother) because it is incredibly starchy and substitutes as a meal.
Mix salt and pork bones together and let sit in a bag for at least an hour (best overnight)
Wash the pork bones thoroughly in cool running water
Start boiling your water soup and add the dried dates and conpoys
In a separate pot, blanch the pork bones and strain it to remove any dirt and debris from the blanching
Add the pork bones and chopped arrowroot to the boiling water of your soup
Boil together for at least 60-90 minutes on high heat. The longer you boil it, the tastier the soup. It is best eaten when the pork is falling off the bones.
Any benefits?
This soup is high in fiber and is ideal for children as it is very natural and neutral
Any precautions?
Since the arrowroot is high in fiber, it is not easily digested in children and you should give them just the soup
This is a hearty soup that can double as a meal. The lotus root is very filling and is a good source of dietary fiber. Since the soup is boiled for some time, the lotus roots will have absorbed all the goodness of the other ingredients (same as the pork bones) and serves as a delicious addition to the soup.
Optional: You can marinate the pork bones with 1 tablespoon of salt an hour prior to boiling, but make sure you rinse the pork bones well with cool water
In a separate pot, blanch the pork bones and strain it removing any dirt and debris from the blanching
Add the pork bones to the boiling water of your soup
Add the dried scallops, large dates and lotus roots to your soup
Boil for at least 60-90 minutes on high heat. The longer you boil it, the tastier the soup!
Any benefits?
The lotus roots are a great source of dietary fiber and have plenty of vitamin C and B6
Any precautions?
The roots can contain dirt and potential parasites, make sure you clean it thoroughly and boil thoroughly before consumption
