Ready to drink.Lotus root soup still in pot.I like it better in taste and flavor the next day.
Mishu eating her dinner,waiting for her soup to cool down.Mostly American parents like to add ice cubes in the soup for their children but not me.I told her to wait.
Mishu thinking should I drink the soup or eat my dinner?.Why the soup take so long to cool down?.
Okay ,Mommy I'm going to drink my soup.
Wooo....it's hot,hot!!..It's not bad for 32 month old toddler.Drinking hot soup.
More,more soup mommy!! but still hot!!Hmmmmmm....so yummy!!.Until her eye closed to feel the soup..hahaha!!
Mishu is drinking her soup with soup spoon .She insist to drink with the big soup.She try to blow away the steam..said hot! hot! At last she finish her whole bowl of lotus root soup.
Still boiling hot ,almost ready.You can you see the steam brewing out.
Peel,wash and cut lotus root. Waiting for water to boil.
Prepared the ingredients... dried squid,dried red date,dried oyster and sweet date in a plate to wash
Today I decide to clean my fridge and found that I still have 3 pieces of lotus root in vegetable drawer.I bought so much vegetables when I was in city and totally forget about it.One piece is almost rotten but I able to save the rest,so I decide to brew lotus root soup.Furthermore today been raining whole day.A bowl of warm soup with rice it really good.I love lotus root soup ,so do Mishu.Mishu love to drink soup,so once a month I will brew different kind of soup for her with her dinner.

I just run up to my frezzer to check.I still have a pack of dried squid but this is smaller size.I think it's size doesn't matter since I don't eat it,just for the soup flavor.Pls give me your address,I send you some tomorrow by mail or you can call me at my cell.I'm going to run to store and bank now.
Lesley, is ok. I will try to look for the dry squid here. Keep it for yourself. If I can't find it then I will tell you ok. Thank you so much. By the way, e.mail me you address too :)
Aha, Mishu is so adorable, drinking her bowl of soup. She's a cutie pie.
