Mum's Snow Fungus Dessert Soup Will NOURISH Your Skin!

This lightly sweet dessert soup is not only delicious, but is incredibly beneficial and nourishing for your lungs, making it a tasty remedy during cough and cold season. Enjoy hot or cold!

Snow Fungus Soup (with Pears)

Asian pear

oz dried snow fungus (aka white fungus)

lotus seed

lily bulbs

tbsp dried south almonds (aka apricot kernel)

almonds

dried goji berry

3-4 oz rock sugar ((sub with less white sugar))

water

Rinse the dried lotus seeds, dried lily bulbs, dried south almonds, and dried north almonds (be sure to look at the measurements for each of the almonds!). Add them all into a bowl with 1 cup of hot water. Cover and let rehydrate for about an hour or until lotus seeds are easily split apart.

In a separate, large bowl, add the dried snow fungus and submerge in cold or room temp water to rehydrate. This should only take 5 minutes. Once rehydrated, drain the water.

On the underside of the snow fungus, there’s a tough, round end. Carefully use a scissor to cut around and remove this part, as it’s inedible.

With your hands or a knife, split the snow fungus into smaller, bite-sized pieces, about the size of a broccoli floret.

Once the lotus seed is mostly rehydrated, it should be easy to split. Split all the seeds in half and remove any sprouts you find in the middle, as these can be bitter. Make sure to keep the water that the seeds were rehydrating in, we’ll use it for the soup!

Peel the Asian pear. Cut out the tough middle core, then slice into 1 inch chunks.

Prepare the ingredients

To a large soup pot, add the rehydrated lotus seeds, lily bulbs, north and south almonds, and the water they were rehydrating in. Add the chunks of Asian pear.

Add 8 cups of water to the pot. Bring everything up to a boil.

Once it’s boiling, lower it to a simmer, then cover and let simmer for about 45 mins. You don’t need to simmer it this long, but my mom prefers to to extract out the flavors more. As long as the lotus seeds, lily bulbs, and almonds are softened enough to eat, you can move onto the next step!

If a lot of water was lost during cooking, you can add more water to the pot.

Lastly, add the snow fungus, goji berries, and sugar to taste. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes and it’s ready to enjoy! We also love to eat this soup cold, so it’s great as leftovers.
