Lotus Root & Peanut Chicken Soup

This homestyle Cantonese soup offers a satisfying balance of flavor and texture. Sliced lotus root adds a delicate crunch, while raw peanuts soften during the slow simmering process, giving the broth a lightly nutty richness. Combined with bone-in chicken pieces and simmered for hours in a clear, seasoned stock, this soup is both grounding and heartwarming. Naturally sweet and nourishing, it’s ideal for pairing with your chicken rice meal or enjoying on its own as a light comfort dish — reminiscent of grandma’s kitchen.
