Lotus root soup can be taken any time of the year but this slow-cooked Chinese soup is commonly served during Chinese New Year for its auspicious significance. Lotus roots signify abundance while peanuts signify wealth. Put together, this soup literally means prosperity in abundance every year.

Remove skin from the lotus shoots and throughly clean them before cooking. This is a very flavourful and refreshing soup to go with meals.

If you do not have dried squid, skip it. As for the base, pork is often used but you can substitute with chicken meat or anchovies.
